package: iceweasel
version: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-2
severity: normal
Hi!
I have tried the new iceweasel package with an empty ~/.mozilla
directory.
The browser has its default start homepage set to an empty page, not to
http://www.debian.org as changelog.Debian claims. This is - at least-
better than any mozilla related page but still not satisfying IMHO. Why
not set it to 'about:' or finally the Debian homepage?
However this bug is about the 'Getting Started' button in the menu bar -
maybe the first button a user clicks when trying out a new browser...
It links to a page on the mozilla server [1] telling me how to
'Getting Started with Firefox'. WTF!
Please do finally fix this. I have already reported this in #404649.
Thank you very much.
Cheers,
Fabian

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
