Quick thoughts, the following CLI commands 'should' all use the settings in the default profile from ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini and have identical results:- ;iceweasel ;firefox ;/usr/bin/iceweasel ;/usr/bin/firefox ;/usr/lib/iceweasel If that's consistently the case then the problem is not in special window handling settings, a corrupted profile, or a problematic extension/plugin. (IG) That leaves the .desktop settings as the most likely cause (not used by the CLI methods). Take a look at the main settings for sanity:- $ grep -i 'exec\|term\|args\|noti' ~/.local/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop This is a full one:- [Desktop Entry] Categories=Network;WebBrowser; Comment=Browse the World Wide Web Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=iceweasel %u GenericName=Web Browser Icon=iceweasel MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;applica tion/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/ht tps; Name=Iceweasel NoDisplay=false Path[$e]= StartupNotify=true StartupWMClass=Iceweasel Terminal=0 TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-GNOME-FullName=Iceweasel Web Browser X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= X-MultipleArgs=false You should have earlier working ones also:- /usr/share/app-install/desktop/iceweasel.desktop /usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop Check for variation:- $ grep -i 'exec\|term\|args\|noti' `mlocate iceweasel.desktop` Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
