Testing IceWeasel 38.5.0 on a fresh install of debian-7.9.0-amd64-xfce, I see a web page with lots of text and images. I do not see any error messages.

I see a pop-up/ overlay for ~10 seconds, then I see the web page.

I see the web page.



Thats 4 that give this:
Error 413 Request Entity Too Large, purported from the varnish cache
server, whatever the heck that is.


Did you click on something to produce that error message?

I see the web page.



There I found a flash, tried to play it,
Following the paragraph "Baghdadi added: ...", I see a grayed area with the text "A plugin is needed to display this content". Clicking on it has no effect.
If I browse to YouTube, and click on the top video "Coldplay - Birds (Official video)", it plays. Testing two others, they work fine. Note that I did not need to install browser-plugin-gnash, so YouTube is likely detecting what IceWeasel supports OOTB and sending a suitable video stream. 



clicked on the update now
button. it went thru the download of a 32 bit version in a tar.gz,
supposedly saving it in ~/Downloads. This is the only flash file in

I have unpacked it and installed it several times, no effect.
I think you've boogered your machine. Put in another system drive (or USB stick), do a plain vanilla install of Wheezy with Xfce, take an image, and then try IceWeasel.
