Package: iceweasel
Version: 30.0-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Hi,
I use ratpoison as window manager, which has its own idea of window
placement and sizing. When I start iceweasel and select "restore previous
session", iceweasel also restores the window size, but is subsequently
corrected by the window manager, however the window contents do not follow.
To reproduce:
- use a tiling window manager, such as ratpoison
- start full-screen iceweasel, open web page
- close iceweasel
- define smaller region for iceweasel
- reopen iceweasel
- select "restore previous session"

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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