iceweasel and its missing libraries.
iceweasel has been very slow for me loading mail sites such as
mail.yahoo.com and gmail.com.
running in the terminal i get a load of errors:

how can i re-link npviewer and libdirectfb to the appropriate libraries?
if that is not the fix, how can i make iceweasel load and perform as normal?
