[DNG] functionality missing in iceweasel?

2016-05-11 Thread fuumind
One of the forums I frequent does not allow me to update my profile using Iceweasel 38.7.1, which is the version in my devuan install. It just reloads my profile page with the unmodified data. In a virtual Lubuntu 16.04 having Firefox 46.0 updating the profile information works without a problem.

You are probably right. It seems my apt was not correctly set up. The lines for jessie-security got commented out when I installed alpha because the installer could not contact the swedish mirror. After enabling it I now have Iceweasel 38.8.0 which at least lets me use the forum appropriately.
