Oh I see! Then we found the source of the problem! :-) Firefox ESR forcefully installed from repositories on Debian, somewhere in the middle of Jessie lifecycle, replacing IceWeasel (the now defunct Debian fork of Firefox). I tried Firefox ESR at past but I abandoned it, because it was very buggy. (First time on repositories after many years, without prior testing). I think I'll wait and when I'll get my hands to a more up to date Linux system, I'll try IceCat again. THANKS David for helping identifying the source of the problem!!!
