In DebianEtch and DebianSid the name of the package is [http://packages.debian.org/firefox firefox]. However, Firefox has been replaced by the differing-in-name-and-icon-only package [http://packages.debian.org/iceweasel iceweasel] '''TODO:''' merge with legacy section of [[Firefox]]

Invoke it using one of this ways:

or simply

For ["Gnome"] launcher, use

 1. My iceweasel is consistently crashing on a website
 * First run iceweasel without loading any extensions and see if the problem persists. This can be done by using the -safe-mode option
{{{
    iceweasel -safe-mode
}}}
 * If the problem goes away, then it means that one of the installed extensions is the root cause of the problem. If not then read on!
 * Create a new user and try to reproduce the problem on the new user's account.
 * If there is no problem with iceweasel on new user's account, chances are that your ~/.mozilla/iceweasel/ directory is corrupt.
 * In order to see if the ~/.mozilla/iceweasel is infact corrupt or not, move it to some other directory and start iceweasel again
{{{
    mv ~/.mozilla/iceweasel ~/old_iceweasel
    iceweasel &
}}}
 * If the problem goes away, well and good. Otherwise you can ask for help on debian-user mailing list by providing all the relevant information like "the way to reproduce the crash", "the version of iceweasel you are using", and "the distribution you are using" etc., Finally, if you are confident that it is a bug in the iceweasel package please consider filing a bug against iceweasel package.
Line 51: Line 12:
== Icons ==
If you would prefer a different icon for Iceweasel than the one that comes in the Debian package, you can use a script at [http://alphapapa.net/debian/iceweasel/] to replace them.
