Bug#776474: Severely breaks existing profiles

Package: iceweasel
Version: 35.0-1
Severity: important

Since upgrading from version 32 to 35, a number of things are
broken:

  1. Vimperator stopped working
  2. Sessions are no longer restored
  3. Javascript is not executed
  4. Preference changes are not being kept

I verified this with a clean profile using only the Debian-provided
extensions, and the problems persist. Things do seem to work using
-safe-mode. But since nothing changed by Iceweasel, I am filing this
incompatibility bug here. :/
