Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I would like it when users get a message on the desktop when a restart of
Iceweasel is needed, because of a (security) upgrade of Iceweasel.
Background: as a sysadmin I use Debian with Gnome on many desktops, the users
do not do the upgrades themself in most cases. Some users do not reboot often.
They get sometimes strange errors after an upgrade. After a restart of the
browser everything works fine again.
With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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