I am delighted it worked out for you.  I  know the whole saga of why 
Iceweasle is there, but I am not Richard S. I like Firefox.  By the way, 
I got an update today to Firefox 2.0.0.7 on my wife's Mac, but I haven't 
heard a  peep from my Debian box about the upgrade. Have you been 
prompted to upgrade to the latest and greatest Firefox?

Regards,

Andy
