When I try to paste
"svn: E170001: Authorization failed"
into a bug report at Sourceforge, iceweasel instead interprets it as a
page URL, and tries to load it.
When I middle-click on a text input field, such as the one in the
Sourceforge bug tracker, I expect text to be pasted into the field.
Icweasel instead wants to load another page, interpreting whatever I
wanted to paste as an URL.

This bug report is different from #406793: There someone middle-clicked
on normal page content, while I middle-clicked on a text entry field.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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