Bug#766158: iceweasel: crashes, hangs, burns CPU, doesn't quit, ...

[Frank Heckenbach]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1
Severity: important

The new version is a disaster. Some problems I've observed within a
few days of using it:

- crashes (many times),

- hangs and doesn't react at all,

- reacts, but burns CPU,

- doesn't quit properly, i.e. when trying to restart says "... is
  already running ...", and I've got to kill the remaining process.

Don't bother asking me for more detailed info. Seeing that even the
most detailed bug reports with patches generally seem to get ignored
in Debian (just some examples of my own reports: 589601, 742469,
760571, 675101, 760556), I'm not wasting my time anymore trying to
debug things which then get ignored anyway.

I've now downgraded to 24 in order to be able to use it at all, so I
can't do more tests anyway.
