Bug#556545: Iceweasel 3.0.14-1 is configured to use a proxy server and it's impossible to modify the network settings

[Claude Micouin]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.14-1
File: /usr/bin/iceweasel
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

Hello.
With my Squeeze, I've just updated iceweasel to 3.0.14-1 version and now, it 
does not want to connect on Internet. It tells me that:
"Proxy Server Not Found
Iceweasel is configured to use a proxy server that can't be found."

Of course, I've tried to correct this in Preferences => Advanced =>Netwok 
=>Connection settings where the selection is on Manual proxy configuration, 
but I cannot modify this because everything is grey (as if I hadn't the 
permissions to do this or if it was only a snapshot).
I've tried iceweasel as root. No changes...
I've looked the permissions in my .mozilla (everything seems right) with:
ls -Rl .mozilla/ | grep -v rw
No regular files. Only directories.

I've tried it with a new user; to move my ~/.mozilla/firefox directory out of 
the way; with iceweasel -safe-mode; and there was no changes.

It looks like a bug.
Thanks.
