It would be helpful if you could narrow down what packages you have
upgraded recently that could cause this change. (Try to check
/var/log/dpkg.log).
Unfortunately it was my first full-upgrade for ages, so that many packages
were upgraded (see http://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/~jtailleu/dpkg.log and
dpkg.log.1).
Possibly, can you try downgrading some of these and
see what fixes it ? I'd suggest you first downgrade iceweasel and
xulrunner-1.9.1 to what they were before.
I'm happy to try but I never did that before :-) Do you know where I can
get the old deb files ? I think I need xulrunner 1.9.1.9-6 and iceweasel
3.5.9-2 but I could not find the deb file... Oh, and do I just remove the
current package and then dpkg -i the old one or is there a better way ?
If that doesn't change
anything, the problem is elsewhere. Most likely cairo and/or an X video
driver. If this is a cairo issue, most likely trying upstream firefox
would not have the same problem. Could you also check that?
I tried to install upstream firefox. To do so, I picked the ubuntu deb
file of firefox 3.5.9 here:
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/firefox-3.5/
and, surprizingly, the installation was successful :-)
jul...@rotule:~$ dpkg -l | grep firefox-3.5
ii firefox-3.5 3.5.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1
safe and easy web browser from Mozilla
ii firefox-3.5-branding 3.5.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1
Package that ships the firefox branding
However I still have the same pb:

(if you think all these files should be somewhere in the bugreport, please
don't hesitate to tell me how I can upload them).
Best wishes,
