Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When I try to install Galcon Fusion, I get a message box telling me I need to create a Galcon Fusion account. However, the webpage that loads won't scroll down to let me make the account, and the copy-paste feature isn't working, so I can't load the URL in IceWeasel either.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Install Galcon Fusion
Accept message box telling me I need to create an account
Bug found :(

I don't think issues with Iceweazel belong in the SteamOS issue tracker. That being said, a workaround might be to install a more full features browser like Firefox.

@AdamDavidBurch for the Firefox workaround.

Go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ to download Firefox.
Go to your downloads folder.
Open a terminal and execute the following commands. a. extract the archive file. b. Enter the firefox directory. c. Execute the ./firefox-bin file.

desktop@steamos:~/Downloads$ tar -xf firefox-51.0.1.tar.bz2
desktop@steamos:~/Downloads$ cd firefox
desktop@steamos:~/Downloads/firefox$ ls
application.ini     gtk2                libnss3.so       libxul.so
browser             icons               libnssckbi.so    omni.ja
crashreporter       icudt56l.dat        libnssdbm3.chk   platform.ini
crashreporter.ini   libfreeblpriv3.chk  libnssdbm3.so    plugin-container
defaults            libfreeblpriv3.so   libnssutil3.so   precomplete
dependentlibs.list  liblgpllibs.so      libplc4.so       removed-files
dictionaries        libmozavcodec.so    libplds4.so      run-mozilla.sh
firefox             libmozavutil.so     libsmime3.so     Throbber-small.gif
firefox-bin         libmozgtk.so        libsoftokn3.chk  updater
fonts               libmozsqlite3.so    libsoftokn3.so   updater.ini
gmp-clearkey        libnspr4.so         libssl3.so       update-settings.ini
desktop@steamos:~/Downloads/firefox$ ./firefox-bin

Note: You will have to close down Iceweazel otherwise Firefox will complain that "another instance of Firefox is already running".

I hope this helps.
