Thanks for your quick information. I thought a moment about changing the User-Agent setting while debugging this issue, but I didn't find the place in Iceweasel where to change it initially. Now I searched a bit harder. A quick work-around - for any interested reader - is: 1) go to about:config 2) search general.useragent.extra.firefox and change Iceweasel in there to Firefox (I understand that Debian uses Iceweasel here.)
