That was the Adobe Flash player plugin file that needs to be manually
pulled.

There are more plugins installed by default, look at "/usr/lib/mozilla/
plugins/". In addition, unless you explicitely told apt to do not install
suggested packages, you also got "gnome-desktop-environment".

Yes, you can rename your user's Iceweasel profile and try to launch it
again...
If it still crashes, the problem is located elsewhere, system wide. In
this case, you can try by updating your Icewasel to the latest version
which is available in Debian's Mozilla repo.
If it works, something at the user's profile could have been hosed.
