Package: iceweasel
Version: 10.0.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I often use xclip to enter standard input (ASCII text) into a copy
buffer which then I can paste into other applications like iceweasel.
I've never had a problem with this until today. I can copy input to
xclip, either use the primary copy buffer in X, or specify the clipboard
(via the -selection switch in xclip). If the copied text has a couple
special characters in it, seems to cause firefox to switch over to UTF-8
when I try to paste the contains into a text window, so I end up seeing
a lot of Chinese. If I remove the spurious special character, it will
paste in good old fashion ASCII. This is not behavior I see from going
from xclip to lowriter, it stayed in ASCII, so this is why I think it is
a problem with iceweasel. I tried changing my default locale and
starting iceweasel in safe mode, but I had similar results. Why would
one special character cause it to switch to, I assume, UTF-8 or an
extended character set?

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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