I deliver computers with GNU/Linux each week to unexperienced users, and
most of them go with IceCat installed and set as default web browser.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCatMobile is recognized as desktop browser

> How does M.Firefox deal with the "Request Desktop Site" switch?

I recall, that Firefox simply removes the 'Mobile' part of the string
from the referrer when requesting a desktop site. That does not have
an immediate effect when browsing Wikipedia, at which point I'd still
have to request a desktop site from a link on Wikipedia.

I'd actually prefer IceCat to be clean of any add-ons, so that
installing any would be up to the discretion of each user. Since
IceCat is used mosty by expert users, then each has their own opinion
about which add-on they want installed, and which they _do not_ want
pre-installed. Pre-installing add-ons would be like distribution
builders forcing them upon users.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat 38.8.0 bug

[Mart Rootamm]

Alex,

If you click on an anchor in IceCat 38.8, then the URL in the address bar
does change; so, if you activate the address bar (w/ blinking cursor) and
presss the return key on the keyboard, the browser will make the jump.
Thereafter, jumping to anchors from links should works on that page.

It has happened, that pressing the off-screen Back key does not jump the
view to the start of the document or to where the anchor link is located.

If I browse to a new page using an URL with a pre-existing anchor, then the
jump does happen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace_2#Samsung_Galaxy_Ace_2_x_/_Trend

Even with
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace_2#Samsung_Galaxy_Ace_2_x_/_Trend
— though the section won't open on its own.

Any particular reason you are still using IceCat 38.8?

-M.
