iceweasel keeps connecting but receives nothing
using the jessie debian distribution, I today upgraded iceweasel from 31.8.0-1~deb8u1 to 38.4.0-1~deb8u1 on an amd64 platform. The old version was having no single problem, but the new version keeps saying 'connecting to accountname' withhout receiving anything.
I have no clue where I should start. I did not change my account settings in any way. Has iceweasel got new settings that have to be set that I am not aware of?
Also am I having a bit of trouble finding the debian package to reinstall the old version. Where can I find it?
thanks in advance, ruud

Found it. My company made a network change so that it was not necessary any more to use the proxy. The proxy was still used in the configuration. The old version was apparently having no issues with that. This new version obviously did.
Configuring 'no proxy' did the trick.
