Bug#576621: The browser(s) stayed up the whole time

This particular machine stays up weeks at a time, with at least one
iceweasel process running in the primary GNOME desktop (my
girlfriend's), and another usually running inside a VNC / GNOME session
(mine).

We were trying to listen to ESPN radio on her desktop and the player
would launch but no sound.  I knew they converted from streaming audio
to a built-in player that plays a .swf so I thought to test youtube to
see if that was broken too and it was.  Then I noticed the error
messages in '.xsession-errors'.  Everything else kept humming along
in iceweasel though.  Then, after the reinstall I went into the VNC
session and iceweasel was still up along with a pop-up notice that a 
plugin had been reinstalled and that the browser should be restarted.
