I thought it was just that the internet is too full of flashy,
spinny, beeping, overloaded garbage, as my iceweasel was hanging and

But I've now switched to google chrome as my default browser,
and have recovered the speed I expect from my connection.
I think iceweasel just sucks, now.

To close this thread:

I removed the torbutton addon taken directly from mozilla.org and
installed the Debian torbutton package. It works. No more hangs.
