Thanks, I always shut down iceweasel and wait for the process to finish 
before leaving KDE.

Xfce runs iceweasel fine with 5.5.1+dfsg-6 packges, but I experienced a 
SIGPIPE when running iceweasel under KDE with gdb:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804060

That was under kernel 4.3.0 - I might try the stock Debian 4.2.0 kernel 
later.
