Re: Firefox \ Iceweasel Differences?

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.

Does anyone know why this would happen, or whether they have had the
same problem and managed to overcome this??

Many thanks. It's a bit hard to explain to the misses that firefox and
iceweasel are the same, when they clearly are not !! 8-)

As far as I know, Iceweasel is Firefox without the "Talkback" component, which is not open and matches debian-philosophy.
