(SOLVED)Iceweasel often crashes, a question of security flaw

EDIT: Problem with html sites is solved. Rest of the "problems" really don't exist. Thank you for your patience.
Dear Debian developers,
this has become a nightmare for me and I believe other Debian users. Crashes are near instant and almost guaranteed when it tries to load flash content (html) or heavy javascript. Worse yet, when I open the browser it crashes again since it loads the last page (usually the crashed html page). Will someone who has the knowledge try to fix this, or is fixing it as I type? Or will we have to wait for new ESR release of IW? Or it won't be fixed at all?
Sometimes I wonder if the crashes are related to the flawed security. Seeing as Debian is compromised since Jessie released with a mountain of RC bugs, I have to wonder if the current Debian Security team does it's job as it should. Maybe all the experts left after Jessie, I don't know.
But something else does not feel right, too. Linux kernel got tens of fixes by now, what for? Was it that bad when you released it? Or is it being tampered with?
Hope I'm wrong on all this. Have a nice day.
