Package: iceweasel
Version: 24.3.0esr-1~deb7u1
Severity: wishlist
As confirmed on the MozillaZine Knowledge Base website:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.url
as of Firefox version 23, the keyword.URL preference was removed. This
means, for example, that if someone configured an earlier version of
iceweasel to use an internal company search engine for search terms
typed in the URL bar, then, after upgrading iceweasel, those search
terms could be sent to an external site such as Google without warning.
To get the same behaviour as before, the following manual workaround is
possible:
0. (Customise your browser UI so that the Search widget is visible)
1. Click the search engine selection icon in the Search widget
2. Select the desired default search engine from the menu
3. (Remove the Search widget from the browser UI again, if desired)
It would be nice if any user-defined value for the keyword.URL
preference could be used to automatically set the default search engine
after upgrade.
Best regards,
Edwin Taylor

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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.
