Re: Ice Weasel

I mean that the screen just disappears and Iceweasel disappears from the tray.  If you then bring Iceweasel back up it asks if you want to start again or restore.  It will do either, then work for a couple of screens and then drop out again.  I am using Adblock and forecastfox as the only additions to iceweasel.  It is very consistent with this. You never know exactly how many times you can click to the next screen but you can be sure that a couple of screens down it will drop out.

I will try the other suggestions when I sign back onto Debian tomorrow.

Thanks.

What is it with Ice Weasel anyhow.  I have no problems signing onto Debian 
and using Icedove.  the rest of the processing goes well.

However, when it comes to Iceweasel, it spends more time dropping out that 
it does working.  It will work for a couple of screens and then drops out.  
    

What do you mean by that?

  

You can bring it back and it will work for a couple of screens and then 
drops again.  I know that there are a lot of things I can do with Debian 
    

How do you bring it back?

  

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.
    

The typical suggestions for Iceweasel troubles:

- start from a terminal and check for error messages
- start with the -safe-mode parameter (especially if you have 
  extensions/plug-ins/whatever
- (re)move your .mozilla folder
- try from a different user account
- try other browsers

  

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.  Debian sucks big time.
    

Whatever suits your needs ...
