Package: iceweasel
Version: 38.7.1esr-1~deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I know you have many bugs on this.

I believe iceweasel tries to update at least addons
(essentially executing native code) from MOZILLA.

To reproduce, start it from terminal, wait at most
few hours and watch stdout/stderr.

In a fully updated VM always I get:
... addons.update-checker	WARN	Update manifest for {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} did not contain an updates property

Today I got another one:
14....	addons.update-checker	WARN	Request failed: https://versioncheck-bg.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=2&id={<snip>}&version=2.6.9.3&maxAppVersion=36.0&status=userEnabled&appID={<snip>}&appVersion=38.7.1&appOS=Linux&appABI=x86_64-gcc3&locale=en-US&currentAppVersion=38.7.1&updateType=112&compatMode=normal - 503: Service Unavailable: Back-end server is at capacity

Since the businessmen at mozilla ditched the creator of javascript BE,
I don't want they to patch me on the fly.

Thanks for your attention.

PS:

For console browsers issues, check my blog if you can find it.
