I am talking about GNU Iceweasel. Although it is not just trademark
changes and has new features, I believe it is "binary compatible" with
the many GPL licensed programmes called "Firefox Extensions". For
example, I load www.customizegoogle.com into my Iceweasel.

At the moment, in GNU Iceweasel, you can go to the tools menu,
Extensions, and click "Get more Extensions", and a new tab will load
with https://addons.mozilla.org But I believe that the GNU Project
hopes to offer an extensions repository of only Free Software
extensions.
