Hi Terry, Thanks for reporting the bug. Apparently it has something to do with the Gecko version. Right now upstream supports xulrunne/iceweasel 24.0 to 30.0. If you can install xulrunner from testing you will see that it works. In the meantime I will report the problem upsteam. It will probably be fixed with the next upload.
