package: iceweasel
version: 15.0-1

With a .asoundrc file of:

pcm.jackit {
    type jack
    playback_ports {
        0 system:playback_1
        1 system:playback_2
    }
    capture_ports {
        0 system:capture_1
        1 system:capture_2
    }
}

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "jackit"
}

and running a jack server without mlocking (-m) I used to be able to
use Iceweasel with JACK without any problems.  Everything worked fine
up to 14.0.1-2, but it stopped working with 15.0-1.  Playing an ogg
vorbis file in iceweasel just hangs.  I haven't come up with any
useful way to debug this.  The flash plugin still works like it used
to.

src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
