When you start Iceweasel, does it bring up an error message saying
something like "There is an iceweasel process running but it is not
responding"? If so, try the following command. This is just a temporary
fix, designed to prevent you from having to reboot.

$ killall iceweasel || killall firefox-bin

Create a new profile and try from that. If that fails as well, create a
new user.

If all of the above fails, then I'll have to look into how to do some
heavier debuggng on it.
