  What do you call cold reset ?
 
 I unplug the battery cable of my laptop. Wait 3hours, no power.

Hi Mike

I do confirm. The pc is ON, and suddenly: crash / or power cut off.
Iceweasel does not like it.

It was possible under Stable Lenny, for sure.
Please make it something very easy:
   popup window that opens and several solutions to chose
   (please avoid console solutions)

Greetings
Y.

Sure, except we still need to know *what* is going wrong. And I see
really no reason why iceweasel wouldn't start, with or without the
-safe-mode option. In the worst case scenario, it could lose bookmarks,
cookies, which can be annoying, but still start.

So, can you try running the following from the console ( ;) ):
strace -f -o /tmp/strace.log iceweasel

And send the /tmp/strace.log file here ?

Thanks

Mike

the only way is to rm -rf .mozilla, but well, you should really ask:

 do you want to continueor  reset  or fix

My childrens have NO SINGLE IDEA how to use the console. So please remove this 
console solution to do internet:
-safe-mode 
or eventually leave please the possibility for normal users to select safe mode 
with a X prompt , instead of the OK, which has no relevance. 

Thank you, iceweasel did rock in Lenny Stable.
Best regards

What do you call cold reset ?
Can you provide a clear ordered list of what you did ?
