Package: iceweasel
Version: 44.0+
That version has cookie confirmation dialogs removed, cookie settings
are then changed to default to 'Accept', and fine-grained cookie
permissions that were previously set, are gone, resulting in data loss
after upgrading. This reduces user privacy.
Relevant upstream bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606655
Data loss reported at comment #44 there, and further comments are restricted.
Upstream discussion moved here:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2016-February/thread.html#3890
Ditto with upstream SeaMonkey:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1235199
Users can currently use Firefox up to 43.0.4 and 38.6.x ESR, and block
future upgrades. Though, in time, these browser versions will have
become outdated for the modern web of the future.
I'm afraid Firefox 45 ESR, to be released in early March 2016, won't
have the cookie confirmation dialogs either.
Upstream does not seem to be very interested in returning the cookie
confirmation dialogs, although I'd like them in future releases of
both GNU IceCat, Debian Iceweasel, and another browser based on
Firefox.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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