Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: important

I just installed Debian sid on my laptop and iceweasel simply would not
work. Starting from the menu would do nothing and starting from the
command line would silently fail. After strace the process, I found that
it couldn't read/write to the .mozilla directory. Sure enough the
directory was owned by root and the permissions were 600. I have no idea
how that happened as it's a new install. My best guess is that I ran
something with sudo that used the mozilla libraries before
actually trying to run iceweasel. The real problem though is that
iceweasel doesn't actually say why it fails; it just fails. Giving a
message like "permissions on profile directory wrong" or something would
be very useful.
