Package: Iceweasel
Version: 31.7.0esr-1~deb7u1+rpi1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
In an RasPi-kiosk-application iceweasel randomly stops loading a page
triggered by the http-meta-refresh-tag.
The current page is displayed forever instead of loading the next one
given by the refresh-tag or reporting a connection problem
error-page. In the left lower corner iceweasel says
"Connecting to <URL> ..." but nothing happens.
 
With a manually forced reload everything works fine
again until the next "stuck-at" happens.
 
I observed in the jsconsole that there is a request for the page that
finally does not come up.
While for this request there is no response, in regularly intervalls
iceweasel still keeps connecting to "www.safebrowsing.google[https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.safebrowsing.google]..."
successfully.
 
I tried to disable IPv6 both in the kernel and iceweasels about:config.
I also disabled dns-prefetching. And, of course,
i used 'clean' user profiles (with and without additional add-ons).
 
The Raspi-Kiosk works like a charme in my private network, but fails in
an other one at work.
Regularly the GET calls of iceweasel in the latter network are responded
with huge a delay (e.g. 8000ms instead of the usual 150-350 ms)
as reported by the jsconsole.
 
I consider this a bug as midori on the same RasPI and Iceweasel in an
older version (spring 2014?) on an other box in the same
"unstable" network are robust in reporting connection problems.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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