Package: iceweasel Version: 10.0~b2-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
When I follow a web link in Icedove and Iceweasel isn't running yet, Iceweasel will start and load the requested page. However, this instance of Iceweasel will then have a non-functional Flash plugin. Loading a page with an embedded Flash element (in any window, any tab) will cause Iceweasel to freeze up for >30 seconds and finally proceed loading the page without showing the Flash element. This also happens after closing Icedove. Closing Iceweasel, restarting it manually (e.g. from the menu) and reloading the same page (then, even if it's loaded by following the link in Icedove, just like before) results in a working Flash once again. My version of Icedove is 3.1.16-1. This bug is a result of library interference between Icedove and Iceweasel, so I'm not sure if it should be reported for Icedove instead. However, since I'm seeing the effect in Iceweasel, I'm reporting it here for now. Also, this isn't specific to Flash, other plugins are likely to be affected as well. It's caused by Icedove setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to its own directory in /usr/lib/icedove/run-mozilla.sh and not clearing the variable when launching external programs. Since Iceweasel partially uses libraries with the same names, it ends up loading the wrong ones (the ones from the Icedove directory) which causes the symptoms. Workaround for me is to edit /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel and add "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" as first executed line. Alternatively, Icedove could clear this variable before launching other programs. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 4.1 ii fontconfig 2.8.0-3 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.8-2 ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.9-1 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-9 ii procps 1:3.3.1-1 ii xulrunner-10.0 10.0~b2-1 iceweasel recommends no packages.
