Dear Maintainer,

Some webpages such as packages.ubuntu.com or www.potsdamvegan.de do not display
correclty (most of the text and images is missing). This problem does, however,
appear to be related to the combination of iceweasel with the hardware
(display-driver). Websites work with e.g. rekonq as well as an identically
configured Debian Wheezy on different hardware.

I use a Lenovo X230, the graphic-specific output of 'lspci -vvnn' is

This does not appear to be an extension/plugin problem. On a new user account
with even the default plugins deactivated, I experience the same problem.

Any more information, I can provide?

Best,

Matthias

src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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.
