Well that is very odd. I have a sacrificial machine which I keep up to date
each morning - running unstable.
It has Iceweasel 3.0 installed, and I listen to Radios 4, 7 and the World
Service using it without any problems.
I have also just printed a page from it, and it worked perfectly.
So I guess the problem must be your setup, either than or I am unusually
lucky.
