I know that there are a lot of things I can do with Debian and it will work great. I also use Mepis which is based on Debian and have no problems with it at all. However, Debian itself and Ice Weasel in particular make it almost not worth using Debian at all. I am using Debian Sidux and have also tried Etch in the past and have had the same problems with them both. I am using an Intel Duo Core 2 processor E4400. Ubuntu, Mepis, BlueWhite64, Sabayon all work great and with no problems.Are we supposed to fscking prostrate ourselves before your mighty Linuxness? Kiss off jerkwad.
Easy there, Cowboy. He's frustrated, and he's let us know the problem is unique to Debian. No reason to go all "jerkwad" on him; I've grown to expect more maturity from you than that. I'll assume you're having a bad day.
When I first read your post, Dick, the first thing that came to mind is drive space. You're not running low on any of your partitions, are you? ("df -h" is your friend)
Also, you might try creating a brand new user and logging in as that user and see if the problem exists there also.
You might also try running Iceweasel in Safe Mode to see if that has any effect.
