Bug#651577: Wheezy: Iceweasel: Login fails with "Skype buttons for kopete" plugin disabled

[T Elcor]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 8.0-3+b1


I'm experiencing a weird problem when I'm not able to log in to my bank- account if I disable the "Skype buttons for kopete" plugin in iceweasel. Login attempts just fail with a cryptic "Unable to Process Request - Try Again Later or Contact Customer Support" message.

I had struggled with this problem for a while and was able to identify it to the "pluginreg.dat" file in my profile and then to the enabled/disabled state of the "Skype buttons" plugin. If the plugin is enabled then I can log in, if it's disabled then I can't.

I'm kind of puzzled and concerned why my bank- transactions should have anything to do with the Skype buttons or Kopete.

Any ideas? Thanks
