I tried on another laptop (my main, I used the 'spare' for the past couple
weeks) and it's not happening anymore (or so it seems).

Quite possibly, the old version of Iceweasel was interfering. I'm on 38.2.1
here, and no issues.

I'm not sure whether is the upgrade that fixed because I don't have access
to the old laptop and because, although I used that laptop with no hitches
for a while, I can't remember if it was because I upgraded or because I
disabled HTTPS-E (*insert walk of shame here*)

Good to go from my side :)

Thanks!

Claudio
