Package: iceweasel
Version: 38.3.0esr-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Note: Happens most often during Iceweasel session or soonthere after or trying 
to close Iceweasel. Bug may be elsewhere, i.e. in KDE compositing/rendering 
but do not know where to place. Has also occurred switching between concurrent 
KDE sessions (but after using iceweasel). So please move to where it better 
belongs.

Too often, running iceweasel or closing it, will get errors shown in dmesg:
[  304.950737] nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] CACHE_ERROR - ch 16 
[dolphin[3571]] subc 4 mthd 0x0000 data 0xbeef5201
[  304.950825] nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] CACHE_ERROR - ch 16

[  304.950912] nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] CACHE_ERROR - ch 16

Rarely, I can get out and keep going. Usually, must hard-reboot the system.
