The Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution (sarge) are no longer supported with security updates. You're strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable as soon as possible.

Solution

Upgrade the iceweasel packages.

For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.0.5-0etch1. Builds for alpha and mips are not yet available, they will be provided later.
