Sure, except we still need to know *what* is going wrong. And I see
really no reason why iceweasel wouldn't start, with or without the
-safe-mode option. In the worst case scenario, it could lose bookmarks,
cookies, which can be annoying, but still start.

So, can you try running the following from the console ( ;) ):
strace -f -o /tmp/strace.log iceweasel

And send the /tmp/strace.log file here ?

Thanks

Mike
