Polymer doesn't work on Iceweasel web browser

[cfsghost]

I am a Debian user. Because of Debian policy,Firefox trade mark issue cause Debian always take off all of "Firefox" text, and uses "Iceweasel" to be browser name. Iceweasel is still a complete firefox but it just has difference name.

The problem is, Polymer doesn't work on Iceweasel, because it is checking browser by browser name rather than engine or feature.

The only place Polymer checks explicitly for "Firefox" in the useragent is in SideTable, our WeakMap shim. Gecko's WeakMap does not support the full range of objects as keys (particularly events). That check should probably be changed to support all Gecko based browsers.

That said, it looks like neither wheezy, jessie, or sid support an Iceweasel version with a new enough Gecko (>= 21). It appears that only the packages in experimental have something recent enough to run Polymer: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=iceweasel

This is a very old bug that is probably not reproducible anymore. Please re-open if this is still an issue.
