master@capsaicin:~/TATA 0 $ iceweasel -safe-mode assert_print.exe
But instead of displaying this nearly perfectly fine HTML, iceweasel
tells me:
You have chosen to open
assert_print.exe
which is a: DOS/Windows executable
from: /home/master/TATA
What should Iceweasel do with thie file?
Open iwth WINE (default)
Save file
This is a HTML file, displaying HTML is iceweasel's _primary_ role, so
I _really_, _really_, expect it to do it instead of saying nonsense
about some _other_ MIME type.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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