I'm sorry, I really don't know what to tell you. One thing that might be
helpful would be to try to reproduce the upgrade issue, i.e. install the
old iceweasel and xulrunner versions, start a new profile, do some
browsing, upgrade again, and see what happens.

If that doesn't happen again, I'm afraid all I will be able to say then
is "shit happens" :(

Merry Christmas and happy new year,

Mike
