Bug#775645: iceweasel: multiple breakages in FF after upgraded to 35, when taking the old prefs.js

Package: iceweasel
Version: 35.0-1
Severity: important


Hi.

Since I've upgraded to 35, I've experienced multiple issues.

- One of them is the breakage of search load options, which I've
already reported in #775391.

- Another was that the search bar didn't work anymore at all
(i.e. hitting enter and nothing happened at all).
This turned out to be a problem in tab mix plus, which was solved
by the version 0.4.1.6 already in experimental.


But several problems remained, which I first suspected to be tab
mix plus either:
- Undo closing tabs (Ctrl-Shift-t) no longer worked.
- session management (at least with the SM from TM+) didn't work
anymore, neither on restart after crash, nor on loading manually
saved sessions.

I've reported these upstream at:
http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19018

I further found out that add block plus stopped working, which
meant:
- adds were shown
- I cannot longer open the preferences of the add on (nothing
happens when I click on the button).
- And everything from add on's page in the add on manager is
displayed broken,... it doesn't display the underscore on the
objects, but "&" before (see the screenshot for what I mean).



So I came to the suspicion it may not be TM+ and digged deeper:
With a fresh profile everything seems to work fine again,
but it would be really annoying having to start from scratch,
since I have so many settings in FF and all plugins.


Starting FF with an empty .mozilla gives:
$ iceweasel 

(process:12321): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

console.error:

  TypeError: window.caligon.status4evar is undefined -- resource://status4evar/Australis.jsm:166

=> everything seems to work again, even Search Load Options, which is why
I'll close that bug shortly after.


Starting FF with my profile (i.e. the one where I get all these
errors shows):
$ iceweasel

console.error:

=> all the problems from above appear


So I started deleting files in my .mozilla/firefox/profile folder.
The evil one seems to be prefs.js... when I delete this and start FF I get:
$ iceweasel 

(process:12563): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

=> tab mix plus seems to work again, i.e. undo close tab and saved session loading
=> on a first glance, AB+ seems to fully work again either
=> however, the search bar clearing form the search load options add-on still fails.



Any ideas what to do?


Thanks,
Chris.
