Bug#607822: iceweasel: Can't add add-ons

[Nigel Horne]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.16-1
Severity: normal

If you try to add any new add-ons you're invited to restart IceWeasel, you
hit the button and Iceweasel shutsdown, but it doesn't restart.

When you do back to the Add-on menu you're told to Restart Iceweasel to
compelete your changes, but hitting the Restart Iceweasal just causes it to
stop as above, and the add-on is never activated.

This used to work fine - probably a recent update to the program broke it.
