Is your system up-to-date? Which version of Iceweasel
are you using? Have you tried newer/older versions?
You could give Opera a try. (my favorite ;)
The kind and knowledgable folks on this list will help
you....but be kind. Debian is a fine distribution,
but, as with any software, problems will arise.
Browser problems are frustrating tho....I'm sure
everyone would agree. Usually you can sort this stuff
out...with patience.
Best regards...and I hope you find a solution.
