Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
 Please be patient, this is the first time I log a bug report.
 I just upgraded from wheezy to jessie (yesterday, April 27/15).

 Iceweasel: After upgrading distro, iceweasel (31.6.0) crashes in many pages.
 It consistently crashed when trying to login to yahoo email.
 I tried running in safe mode, deleting cache and cookies, uninstalling Flash, but it still keeps crashing.
 Running gdb iceweasel > run > this message appears at crashing point:

 [New Thread 0x7fffcb3ff700 (LWP 3264)]
[New Thread 0x7fffca9ff700 (LWP 3265)]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    b=0x7fffcb409040) at fccharset.c:711
711	fccharset.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) quit
A debugging session is active.

	Inferior 1 [process 3208] will be killed.

Quit anyway? (y or n) y

    gqrx: same computer.


$ gqrx
linux; GNU C++ version 4.9.1; Boost_105500; UHD_003.007.003-0-unknown

Segmentation fault
$

with gdb,

(gdb) run

Same crash message in gqrx as in iceweasel.

Some brief web search seems to suggest that the file fccharset.c was used to build the package libfontconfig1 .

Reinstalling the package fontconfig seems to solve my problem. My apologies!
