Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.3-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
Since some time back Iceweasel on my system does not display some text
inside webpages at all. I tried starting it in safe mode, and that
didn't fix it. However, it works in upstream's Firefox 3.0.3. This has
worked before in Iceweasel 3.0.x; some recent update broke it. An
example of a page that is affected is:
http://www.cs.lth.se/Education/natfak/
On this page, there is no text displayed at all (except text that 'really
is an image').
On other pages, some text is displayed while other text is not, however.
On most pages, all text is displayed.
// Alexander

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
