Package: iceweasel
Version: 10.0.5esr-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
When there's no network connection, Iceweal is unable to connect to localhost
through an alias defined in /etc/hosts. I've also tested upstream 13.0, and it
has the same issue.
I have the following line in my /etc/hosts :
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost test
If I unplug the network and launch iceweal, it cannot connect to http://test/
and says "server not found".

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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