Just to clarify for some people: There are two different IceWeasels. The Debian version and the Gnuzilla version are separate projects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel One of the problems with using the Gnuzilla version of IceWeasel is that it's based on a 1.5 release of Firefox and not a 2.x release. Since the 1.5 release isn't getting security updates anymore and some major security holes have been patched between 1.5 and 2.x, using the Gnuzilla version, IMHO, is just asking for trouble. By the way, hi, I'm new here! Be expecting to see more of me in the not-so-distant future. -- Christopher C. Parker Associate Member #795 address@hidden Free Software Foundation
