I now get the same error with Iceweasel as you got, which is different from 
last time I bothered with Amazon Prime Video, and it works fine in Google 
Chrome.  It didn't last time I investigated.

Channel 4, however, now comes up with a black screen once the video starts 
(the static picture is there fine).  Channel 5 is equally bad, but so far 
there has never been anything I actually wanted to watch on Channel 5.  The 
other channels work fine.  Including now in Iceweasel, since this package of 
Sven's.  (Previously most of the channels worked in Chrome, but not in 
Iceweasel.)  Thank you, Sven.  All I have to do now is find out why Channel 4 
remains resolutely black when Flashplayer is running.
