Hi,
In this case, it seems to be a mixed testing+jessie box, not pure jessie,
so I would not yet consider it a reason for a backport.
I am looking at other iceweasel bugs that may be related to this. Will ask
for feedback and cc this bug report as gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad reference
(should have indeed used #797227), so at least they can be reassigned and
closed if needed.
