Iceweasel displays Firefox logo on default home page


I have Debian Wheezy installed. Iceweasel is displaying the Firefox logo on the default home page.

I'm not getting any meaningful assistance on the Debian-owned forum, but was otherwise told that a 'persona' is causing it.

I am not aware of any personalization and do not know why it displays in this manner. On a page reload, it may (not all the time) display the Iceweasel logo for a fraction of a second, then the Firefox logo appears.

Is there any way to edit that 'persona' or whatever is causing the incorrect logo to appear?

Thank you in advance.

I have noticed exactly the same behaviour . I believe there was a recent update of iceweasel - maybe it introduced this issue ?

I saw this prior to the recent version update. But I have yet to find anything online about this 'persona'...

In Firefox/Iceweasel lingo, 'persona' is just a pretentious synonym for 'background theme'. If you have one installed you should see it in 'about:addons'.
What is your default home page?

@EmaRsk.

No themes/backgrounds - only plugins are Gnome Shell Integration, ShockwaveFlash 10.1 r999, and iTunes Application Detector - all installed by in default Iceweasel.

Home page is "Iceweasel start page". Iceweasel 24.8.1.

Behaviour is not a problem - just curious

It shows Iceweasel Start Page as the Start Page and about:addons isn't showing anything amiss. On the Appearance tab, it is showing 'Default 24.8.1'.

Back to normal

Behaviour reverted to normal today - iceweasel logo now showing immediately. No action taken on my part - assume it must relate to the link to the logo on the page itself.

Possibly... The other night, I installed Firefox in my /home directory and began to use that. However, tonight, I relaunched Iceweasel and am now seeing the Iceweasel logo on the home page again, even after repeated reloads.
