Greetings,
I am aware that Iceweasel uses the same engine as Firefox for
the operation, however, there seems to be problems with using Iceweasel
on sites like Ebay. When you are creating an item to sell and you get to
the product description section, you do not get the essential style and
format menu that shows in Firefox.
Go to about:config in Iceweasel.
Change the preference general.useragent.extra.firefox from
"Iceweasel/2.0.0.5" (or whatever your version is to "Firefox/2.0.0.5".
Then web sites won't be able to tell the difference, and FWIW you
should report the web site to it's owners as broken. User-agent
detection is broken behavior.
As far as extensions are concerned I have yet to run into an extension
that would not work in Iceweasel that works in Firefox. Again, if it's
making a distinction, it's broken behavior that should be reported to
the author(s) as a bug.
