I'm using icebox with a dm. As far as I can tell this is not related
to dm upgrade, nor to icebox upgrade. I agree that firefox used to
say "something funny happened", but unfortunately it's just killed as
everything else each time (and, then, I have to reboot). Fortunately,
the programs I use do save their data regularly, so that I don't lose
anything more than time in the process.
