Dear fellow debianers, Thank all of you for answering my question.
It was very informative to see that the behavior arose from a careless? configuration assumption that assumes http://firefox/ will resolve to the real mozilla site. But more fundamentally- 1) why should my browser ever directed to mozilla.com at all? 2) And why now every restart of firefox? I recall now: After every previous debian firefox/iceweasle package update i was also directed to mozilla.com and only then only once. Afterwards it used my (local) home page - just the way i wanted it to. It is as if the browser is programmed to "report back" to home at least once. So I thought- maybe now, because it is unsuccessful in connecting to mozilla.com the browser is repeatedly trying to reach http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/. So I tried to "report back home" manually (ie i tried by log in directly to mozilla via go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/). But alas. Still on every start of iceweasel it goes to http://firefox/ which is resent to an advertizing search site. Any more ideas?
