just a few weeks ago i actually suggested that GNU change the name of icecat back to iceweasel - the response was that the GNU browser has been known as icecat for such a long time that it would be confusing to change it now https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2017-08/msg00033.html i like the idea of keeping the iceweasel name because of the similarity with icecat - the situation is not very confusing now - as of now one can say that the difference is that icecat is LTS and iceweasel is rolling - what could become a confusion depends on what hyperbola decides to call their browser - if hyperbola is to be an LTS distro then presumably it's browser would follow the upstream ESR releases but if that browser is also to be named iceweasel then the branding recognition will be diluted in it's meaning
