I attempted top open Iceweasel in 64 bit Kali-Linux and got the following error message:

"Could not launch Iceweasel - failed to execute child process 'iceweasel' (no such file or directory) 

 When I attempted to update Iceweasel, I was told the latest version is aready installed.

How do I learn what is missing and replace it?

Would appreciate any help.

Looks that iceweasel isn't installed in a path that can be found via the path environment variable.
Try: locate iceweasel or check your software (package) installer to find the location of the program.

Start iceweasel via a shell script: 

#!/bin/sh

cd <path to iceweasel>
./iceweasel

Thank you for your suggestion. I like it, however, I have already uninstalled and re-installed Iceweasel. Now it works. If I had not already done that, I would have tried your solution.

Best wishes,

Chas
