Package: iceweasel
Version: 21.0-1~bpo70+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When trying out the new Google Maps, which seems to rely on 3D accelerated
graphics (webgl?) I notice that the font
used is completely unreadable (it's a black bold font where the individual
letters are too close to each other to
be able to read them.
This happens when I use the default Intel graphics (HD4000). If I switch
(Bumblebee) to using the NVidia graphics
(GT620M), everything works fine (readable, white font). But, I really don't
want to run Iceweasel under this graphics
card as it drains battery too much.
This was also the case when running Iceweasel 18.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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