If you’re using Debian Linux, you probably have Iceweasel installed instead of Firefox. Mozilla won’t allow Debian to package and tweak their own version of Firefox without calling it something different, so Iceweasel was born. Iceweasel is functionally identical to Firefox; it just has a different name and logo. Install Iceweasel Web browser in Debian What is Iceweasel? Iceweasel is a free software derivation of the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Along with Gnuzilla it is the GNU attempt to create a version of Firefox which can be used by free software GNU/Linux and UNIX software distributions. For further details see Wikipedia but it came about because the Mozilla branding is incompatible with Debian Free Software Guidelines. Note that IceWeasel and IceDove (the Thunderbird re-branded EMail client) do not offer updates via the Help menu option but via the package management system - and that add-ons installed via the latter are not up-datable via the built-in add-on updater.

If you are running Debian, it is strongly suggested to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages, instead of doing so manually via this website.

You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

No enclosure laptops & desktops driver download. You can download the requested file from the pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/ subdirectory at:

Debian security updates are officially distributed only via security.debian.org.

Sierra imaging driver download for windows. Note that in some browsers you will need to tell your browser you want the file saved to a file. For example, in Firefox or Mozilla, you should hold the Shift key when you click on the URL.

GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one: it is entirely free software. While the Firefox source code from the Mozilla project is free software, they distribute and recommend nonfree software as plug-ins and addons. Also their trademark license imposes requirements for the distribution of modified versions that make it inconvenient to exercise freedom 3.

Privacy protection features

• LibreJS: GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in Richard Stallman's article The JavaScript Trap.
• Https-Everywhere: Extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure.
• SpyBlock: Blocks privacy trackers while in normal browsing mode, and all third party requests when in private browsing mode. Based on Adblock Plus.
• AboutIceCat: Adds a custom “about:icecat” homepage with links to information about the free software and privacy features in IceCat, and checkboxes to enable and disable the ones more prone to break websites.
• Fingerprinting countermeasures: Fingerprinting is a series of techniques allowing to uniquely identify a browser based on specific characterisics of that particular instance (like what fonts are available in that machine). Unlike cookies, the user cannot opt-out of being tracked this way; so the browser has to avoid giving away these kinds of hints.

Downloads

Official releases of IceCat

They are available from ftp.gnu.org, or any GNU mirror. Please use a mirror if possible. Besides the sources, binary packages for GNU/Linux (32 and 64 bit) are available.

IceCat is generated from Firefox with the scripts available in the Git repository of GNUzilla.

Note that building binary packages for Windows and MacOS currently requires nonfree software, so we no longer distribute binary packages for those platforms.

Free add-ons and plugins

• We maintain a list of free addons.
• GNUzilla runs its own plugin finder service at gnuzilla.gnu.org.

Language packs

You can find langpacks for IceCat on ftp.gnu.org, in the langpacks directory for a given release.

These langpacks are generated automatically from the original Firefox ones, if you notice problems in your locale, please let us know at the <bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org> mailing list.

Online help and documentation

Community driven manuals are available at LibrePlanet.

Mailing lists

The GNUzilla project uses a number of mailing lists, as follows:

• help-gnuzilla (archives): general discussion and requests for help about GNUzilla and IceCat;
• bug-gnuzilla (archives): bug reports and feature requests for GNUzilla and IceCat;
• gnuzilla-dev (archives): development discussion around GNUzilla and IceCat.

To subscribe to the mailing lists, you may either use the mailman web interface (click on each list name and follow the instructions), or send an empty email with a Subject: header line of just “subscribe” to listname-request@gnu.org, replacing listname with any of the list names above (e.g. help-gnuzilla).

Found a bug? Have a suggestion? Please report it to the bug-gnuzilla list, trying to specify all the information that could be involved: platform, program version (the command icecat --version Positivo printers driver. will report this), and build tools version if building from source code. Please report both the observed and the expected behaviors.

Getting involved

Development of IceCat, and GNU in general, is a volunteer effort, and you can contribute. For information, please read How to help GNU. If you'd like to get involved, please join our mailing lists and say hi!

Maintainers

The GNUzilla project is currently maintained by Ruben Rodriguez, Amin Bandali, Mike Gerwitz, and Mark H. Weaver. Please use the mailing lists for contact.

Origin of the name

The name “IceCat” was coined to show our relationship to the Mozilla Firefox browser. Ice isn't Fire and a Cat isn't a Fox, so it is clearly a different package (we don't want Mozilla blamed for our mistakes, nor cause confusion with their trademarks), but is equally clearly intimately related (of course nearly all of the work comes from the Mozilla foundation effort, so we want to give credit).

The gNewSense BurningDog browser and the Debian IceWeasel browser are similarly derived from Firefox, also with the intent of being free software. Technically, however, these projects are maintained entirely independently of IceCat. (Previously, this GNU browser project was also named IceWeasel, but that proved confusing.)

About GNU and the GNU Philosophy

The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software—free as in freedom, not price. Its principal sponsor is the Free Software Foundation.

The free softwarephilosophy is the root and motivation of the guidelines and goals ofthe whole free software movement, a worldwide community.
