Thanks for the info.  It seems odd that iceweasel would write to the 
adblockplus file but refuse to start.

I think maybe stracing that process might be our next step.  Please install 
the strace package.  I think the command we want for the first trace is:
strace -f -e trace=open $(which iceweasel) 2>&1 | tail -n 200
