Two things changed in that upload: - the obsolete gconf file got dropped (sigh, I forgot to document that in the changelog). This change shouldn't make a difference, though. - gecko-mediaplayer now built against xulrunner-dev 17.0.6ers-1. Maybe that lead to an incompatibility with iceweasel 10. I think I found the culprit and a fixed package is available at [1]. If you can confirm that this brings us back to the 1.0.8-1 behavior, I'll prepare an upload with that fix.
