Bug#795436: Preferences: usability regression

[Ian Zimmerman]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 38.2.0esr-1~deb7u1
Severity: minor

Since security upgrade yesterday switched to the 38 series, instead of a
nice Gtk based preferences dialog a get a fake webpage :-( And now I
cannot activate any of the widgets on that fake webpage with the
keyboard.  And searching for text on the fake webpage (in order to shift
focus) doesn't work either.  So, reaching for the pointing device is the
only solution.  How are the rodent allergic among us supposed to cope?
