Hi Taylor,

Thanks for the extra info.  Do you know if older versions of the
iceweasel package had this problem?  Especially 3.5.16-13, if you could
please try it.

(Just in case you don't know this:  you only need the iceweasel,
libmozjs2d, xulrunner binary packages.  If you have any -dbg or -dev
packages already installed for a different version, "apt-get -f install"
will remove them for you.)


It might help to know a specific page that reproduces the problem for
you (and how often?  on every visit?).

It might help to try this one as it gives a good stress test of
JavaScript capabilities (takes a few minutes, browser may hang for a
while, but this is normal) and I know for a fact it works okay for me on
3.5.16-13:
