Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat SSL warning/error pages; what settings affect the production of these 'error' pages?

[bch]

Hello again

Thank you to both of you for the additional contributions. Nothing
suggested has led to a resolution in my case.

I have gone through Icecat and Firefox about:config looking for
differences. There are a few but none that seemed to be significant with
regard to the issue I have, or that I can fully understand their
implication yet lets say (other than a good guess).

I have found one that was different and I matched Icecat to Firefox and
this allowed websites that were not displaying to be displayed without the
error page I posted.

That parameter/setting was: security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation

Setting it to false as per Firefox's default, allowed the page to be
displayed, but with lots of warnings and the ability to see what was wrong
(insecure and weak keys etc being reported in my case).

Regards
Habs

[Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat SSL warning/error pages; what settings affect the production of these 'error' pages?

[bch]

Hello - not a bug, just a request for info really if any one can help
please.

Occasionally (or is it regularly) I get some ssl warning pages displayed
instead of access to the site when browsing with Icecat 45.5.1  (on linux
64bit).

An example message is pasted below. 'Trying again' does not help - the site
is blocked.

I do not get these pages returned for the same sites when browsed using
Firefox.

In some cases, Icecat reports an unsafe/unencrypted session and no valid or
invalid certificate is available, when Firefox states for the same page it
is ok (and I can browse the certificate details etc).

I did notice during one of these scenarios, that Firefox was reporting
TLS1.0.  It led me wonder if it is a settings issue on what level of ssl
components are acceptable.

Is Icecat setup by default to be less forgiving towards what it receives
SSL wise, bearing in mind I have not changed any ssl related settings in
either  browser?

Thank you for any comments/ideas.

Best wishes to all
Habs

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] [VOTE] Tor code base

[bch]

Hello all

I'm not 'voting' as I do not fully understand what is going on to cause all
the debate and argument.

I started using Icecat as I felt I had a noticeable performance improvement
over the over offerings.
Since then it has not updated much and appears to be well behind the
Firefox base at least.

Just in general to the recent discussions on "what happens to Icecat next
(if anything)"
I like to choose what add-ons I want (or want to 'turn on'). Having them
automatically built in does not seem 'correct'.

Indeed, I believe it should be possible to have a performant browser that
that is cleaned of all the crud (alleged spying, tracking, questionable
code, etc) other versions may introduce and be announced as such and
perhaps released with suggestions of approved/recommended addons to improve
security/privacy. Users may wish to employ there own solutions knowing they
have a great base browser that is doing just what it should and nothing
more.

I have read that some people feel that users might not be competent enough
to know what to 'add-on' for protection and therefore feel it ought to be
built in as such. I do not subscribe to this and believe most people going
down the linux route at least (setting it up, installing, configuring etc)
will have a reasonable idea of security...especially if recommendations of
what people can do comes with it.

Just my two-penneth.

Thank you for Icecat.

Habs

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] [Slackbuilds-users] icecat 38.8.0 crashes

[bch]

Hello and good day to all reading this debate

>From my perspective and without insinuating Icecat, Firefox, or any other
software does or does not provide these things, I would see the requirement
of the 'libre' browser like this:

- the browser (Icecat in this case) should be performant and do its one job
[of browsing] extremely well meeting any standards as required
- the browser should be secure; as in bug/security-hole free and be part of
a maintenance effort to ensure such
- in line with the first requirement [listed above] the browser should be
made available clean of any other 'addons', hidden marketing/feedback stuff
etc
- it should be possible to add-on other well designed and performant
modules (example but not necessarily, HTTPS monitor/enforce, adblocker
monitor/enforce and so on)

I am not entirely clear what it is specifically at the heart of Firefox
that has driven Icecat to exist, other than perhaps it has some undesirable
things creeping into or existing in it.

It would seem a good base to take Firefox and 'clean it up' (of any
legitimate concerns and other code that stop it meeting the opinion
requirements above) to leave a clean and performant browser; then to ensure
some quality addons, that do not intrinsically need to be part of the core
code, for providing additional requirements security and 'lock-down' are
made available as a choice to employ.

It is all about instruction and making it easy, for users to add on what
they need to the browser and not necessarily doing the job for them by
building it in. That is how I see it.

>From saying all the above, I suppose I am more in line with having a good
base line browser, clear and stripped down with regard to inbuilt
functionality which can be provided better (and through choice) by
addons/modules.

I am presuming Firefox is a good base for Icecat to be the above 'vision'
(as i see it as a user), but if it is not any more and the effort to 'clean
it up' from concerns (if that is what Icecat has intended) is now not
feasible, then I am not sure what the future for Icecat is. I do not
believe Icecat should come with things built in, that can be added as
choice. It does not detract from being able to claim the browser is 'libre'
or whatever the claim is that is trying to be met.

Long ago, I thought the intention of Firefox was to be all the things
discussed above and that Icecat tries to/does do - what happened if
anything and why!

Thank you for allowing me to share my observation and opinion.
Peace and goodwill to all.

Thank you for sharing your views Ivan.

I just want to make clear as perhaps my previous post may have given a
wrong impression. It was not my intention for what I said to be taken as
criticism of Gnuzilla in any way.

Peoples' efforts on projects such as Gnuzilla,  SBo work and all similar I
find truly amazing.

I must admit I am not clear why Mozilla would not want the same as Gnuzilla
and why that project would conflict with Gnuzilla ideas.  Mind you, the
complexities of the human condition are huge :-)

Perhaps it is safe to say that it is better to just wait and see how it all
pans out and what emerges.

Thank you again.
Peace and good will to all.

Hi Ivan

Interesting.  I have an AMD Phenom.

I have built, rebuilt and tried earlier releases using the SBo scripts and
on twitter.com (when logged in...that's crucial)  it crashes out always
when navigating away.

I am not knowledgeable to know if it is an AMD related problem and I do not
have an Intel chip to try, though I will seek one out :-)

Please, for the less aware like me, what does the -O2 do and what is the
difference to -Os  ?

Thank you for your interest and assistance.

[Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat 38.8.0 crashes/segementation fault

[bch]

Slackware 14.2 64bit

Hello folks - I have been 'talking' on slackbuilds.org (SBo) about icecat
38.8.0, which I use, about a problem I came across with it crashing.

I've only noticed it when I was browsing the twitter.com website and more
specifically only when navigating away from that site. There may be other
situations of course.

Even more, it would seem it happens only when logged in to twitter
account;  if not logged in, then no crash when navigating away.

Some contributors on SBo pointed out to me similar issues that they had
found reported on other sites.

There has been some suggestion to build using a different parameter (with
'-Os' instead of '-O2' i do not know what that does or how?) as a *work
around*, but I have not tried it as yet.

As this issue has been around for a while it would seem and affected
earlier releases too, is there any knowledge as to what it might be, as it
seems Firefox does not appear to suffer the same problem from my experience?

I am sorry, but my skills do not allow me (yet) to provide the sort of
detailed info that others produce, however there is a console output below,
though relating to an earlier build of Icecat. It may be of some use.
Hopefully just raising this issue as I found it, is enough to help others
understand. If there is anything I can do (bearing in mind I use others'
build scripts [SBo] for these things), please let me know.

If anyone has any info or if a bug report needs [re]creating, then how to ?

Peace and best wishes.
Habs

[Bug-gnuzilla] icecat browser sources question

[bch]

Hello and good morning (as it is where I am)

As this question may identify, I am quite new to Icecat and building from
source etc...

Please can someone briefly explain the fundamental reason(s) for why there
is a marked difference in size of source between the different versions.

e,g,: at, http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/icecat/38.7.1/

icecat-38.7.1-gnu1.tar.bz2   2016-04-08 03:45  224M
icecat-38.7.1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2   2016-04-08 03:38   45M

Thank you for the insight.
Habs
