I figured it out.  Running the Java Control Panel (jcontrol or
ControlPanel) / Java tab / "Java Applet Runtime Settings" View button /
Click on the box under "Java Runtime Parameters", enter
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true and press OK / Apply / OK and restart
iceweasel.

[Of course, this does not explain why this problem started on this
