GNU IceCat shows the Free Software Directory website when you go to
"Add-ons" and click on the "Get Add-ons" button in these programs, this
is good.
However, when you click on "Check for updates" or "Update Add-ons
Automatically", you'll notice that the Mozilla repository will be used
instead which is addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
This is not good as the updated versions have not been verified by the
FSF to be entirely free.
Conclusion: IceCat should use directory.fsf.org as addon update
repository, not addons.mozilla.org. The features that are affected can
be found by doing the following:
1. Click "Add-ons"
2. Locate the option button (labeled "Tools for all add-ons" on
mouse-hover). It is located left to the"Search all add-ons" bar, you
can't miss it.
3. Click on the button and see "Check for updates" and "Update Add-ons
Automatically".
