Bug#833113: steam: Internal browser doesn't seem to be working

[Alex Henry]

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.52-3
Severity: important

The internal browser doesn't seem to be working: the loading
icon just keeps spinning for minutes on end with no result.
This breaks the login help (password recovery) to viewing the
store and wishlist and probably many other features dependent
on the internal browser. Accessing the Steam store with an
external browser (like Firefox) is working fine.

I've just installed Steam via aptitude (apt-get) today and
it automatically updated to the newest version upon opening.
Features that don't depend on the browser seem to be working,
from configuring settings to activating big picture mode. I
have no games yet so I can't test related stuff.

I just decided to install Steam today after looking at their
Linux game collection and I was thrilled to see Debian has
a package for it - in the official repository nonetheless :)
Thanks to the mantainers, hope you can fix this soon!
