Bug#720361: iceweasel: Some extensions will not start after browser is restarted (FF not affected)

[Thiago Bellini]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 23.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When installing some extensions (from what I can tell, restartless extensions),
they won't start correctly when restarting the browser.

For example, this extension [1] when installed adds an icon on the toolbar but,
when the browser is restarted, it's not there. If I turn it off and on again,
it shows ok.

The reason I'm reporting this here is because it doesn't happen on Firefox.

I reported the problem [2] on this extension [3] and the developer tested on
both Iceweasel and Firefox reproduced the problem just like I'm explaining
here.
