Thanks for the suggestions, but writing "3.0b5" in the user_pref entry for extensions.lastAppVersion seems to have no effect on the crash. When launching Iceweasel, no dialogs or messages are displayed, only the "Starting Iceweasel..." item in the GNOME window list appears for an instant before bug-buddy reports the crash. Thanks, N.
