Yes, plugins are the problem. I recently upgraded from Sarge to Etch,
and Iceweasel didn't handle flash correctly. (Java was OK in the few
applications I tried.) My bookmarks and preferences were kept, and the
transition was really seamless, except for the flash. If there was a
plugins directory in usr/share/iceweasel as there was in firefox,
fixing it would have been simple, but there wasn't. So I removed
Iceweasel and reinstalled Firefox. Again, transition went seamlessly...
