Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.2.0esr-3~deb7u1
Severity: normal
I have (of course) set the "Clear History when exiting Iceweasel" option
including cookies, and in addition cookies are kept "until I close
Iceweasel". Also, in the about.config page, geo.enabled is false.
Nonetheless, right after I start Iceweasel, with a single empty tab (no
home page), Show Cookies lists a wikipedia.org cookie named "GeoIP".

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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