Package: iceweasel
Version: 10.0.4esr-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Iceweasel is unable to open PHP files without being in the localhost of a web
server.
This problem was present in Firefox 3.x
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1923887 and is now working
on latest orignal Firefox versions.

If I open a PHP file who is not in the server folder, Iceweasel is asking what
to do: opening the PHP file or saving it. If I choose to open the file with
Iceweasel, it pop ups a new window with the same message.
Check "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" and it will run
in an infinite loop each time you open a local PHP file!

Sometimes I need to open PHP files who are not necessarily on a server, I only
need this files to be interpreted as HTML without PHP functions.

It is working on original Firefox versions and for a while, I've tried Firefox
9 it is working too, on 32bit and 64bit version.
Opera does this well too.

I have seen today an update Iceweasel 10.0.4esr-2 (Debian Wheezy) with the same
problem while original Firefox 10.0.4esr has no issue with local PHP files.
When creating a new profile the problem is still here.

So why isn't it working on Iceweasel if "Iceweasel IS Firefox"?
It is not only a rebranded version of Firefox if some functions are removed!

It's a very annoying problem. I hope it will be corrected in the next release.

By the way, why does it take so long for Iceweasel to be updated, is there so
much to do than just changing the name and logo of the app?
I support Iceweasel but it sucks always having an "out of date" version of
Firefox. Why not following the release channel instead of the ESR?

Thanks for the help.
