This looks to be a life saver. When I get home I will try this out. My Wife can't move off windows because of her obsession with youTube (I will admit... I'm having withdrawal symptoms )

Is anyone else having problems opening html documents with Iceweasel? It opens like 5 tabs every time I try to open a document. The first one is an error, and the rest are just random websites. Default firefox, on the other hand, works fine.
EDIT:
Ok two other minor problems with Iceweasel...
#1: In the download manager, the "open" button (for files) and the "Open Containing folder" button (right click on a file) don't work. "Remove" and "Properties" on the other hand do work.
#2: Occassionally I will get a file that automatically opens instead of saving for no reason, here's an example:

Someone on the bug list just told me how to get the icon on the Iceweasel window so I thought I'd pass it a long... All you have to do is copy an image to /usr/local/Iceweasel32/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm. First off, create a directory named "icons" under the chrome folder. Then create a folder named "default" under icons. Now run this command:
sudo cp /usr/share/pixmaps/iceweasel32.png /usr/local/Iceweasel32/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm
Or just put any icon you like in there named as "default.xpm".
Thanks fatsheep, I have fixed this in the amd64 version. I added a symbolic link though. So whatever the iceweasel32.png is changed to the little icon is changed to.
Code:sudo ln -s /usr/share/pixmaps/iceweasel32.png /usr/local/Iceweasel32/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm

Dear Kilz!
Thanks a lot for your great HowTo and your automated script works wonders to a non-programming user!!
I've a question though... I'm running Ubuntu on my desktop at University where we are connected to the internet via a network... now when I run your script I get the following message when it starts installing the .deb files:
Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/: Invalid host name.
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
I realise this has something to do with the Network Proxy, which on my Desktop computer at the office is set to "Automatic proxy configuration".
I had a similar problem when I was trying to use this script on my Laptop, but was able to get around it by just doing it at home and changing the Network Proxy to "Direct Internet Connection"...
Is there any way to get around this without changing the Network Proxy?
Thanks a lot for you input.
Cheers
Bjorn
