Thanks to Dan, Jochen and songbird for the advice to do the downgrade. I 
backed up some config files and let it rip, and it did it all perfectly.

I'm giving the latest firefox directly from Mozilla a try. Easy to 
install and is running now. I've always used deb packages (iceweasel, 
firefox-esr, etc) but from time to time I had reason to notice that the 
stable version was old.

Cheers!
