As "C" option I meant to run a GNU/Linux guest (VM) in a Microsoft OS
host, when the user hasn't the possibility to change the hardware node's
operating system.

I would never trust microsoft, or apple. those are my thoughts on this. i have 
seen a video of a russian man decode data that was being sent from his compuer 
and it was actually screenshots of his desktop. social security numbers, 
anything was prey. very sad.

what are the benefits of using a a virtualized linux OS on a computer with 
linux to connect to another computer with linux before using the internet? 
wouldn't you need two houses for that?

 Please, let's not propose adding more work for Rubén.  Given that he's
 already too overloaded to produce IceCat releases in a timely fashion,
 and given the paramount importance of reducing the latency of IceCat
 security updates, I fully support his decision to reduce the amount of
 work associated with each release.  Let someone else volunteer to build
 binaries for Windows and Mac, if there's sufficient interest.

You can't turn them off. In some cases you can, which means absolutely 
nothing, since in other cases you cannot. Which other cases? All the ones you 
don't know about because they don't have to tell you jack.

Please do not take this the wrong way, but if you need a citation for this, 
then you must be missing on some really basic understanding of how a modern 
computer works. In short, micro$soft runs a mystery program on your pc, and it 
runs with the highest privelege afforded by your hardware (CPU, etc.). No one

No. But the difference between icecat and firefox on window$ is the difference

I totally agree, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to use a slightly more secure 
browser like icecate on ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTINGLY BACKDOORED BOTNET surveillance, 
freedom and privacy destroying operating systems like those of apple and 
microsoft. why? because there is no benefit. the levels of disrespect that 
apple and microsoft have for user privacy (remember, they are a part of the nsa 
spying cult known as PRISM) are so high that there is no doubt in my opinion 
that any possible benefit to using icecat is instantly reduced to nothing while 
using it on windows or mac.

Using icecat on windows or mac is like bringing a bucket of fresh water with 
you everywhere you go because it has the salt removed and is more secure 
against salt, and then going to the middle of the ocean and expecting your 
freshwater to not get salty. I honestly believe that everyone who suggests more 
hard work for those involved with icecat to make it function on windows or mac 
are some kind of weirdos with hidden intentions.

Honestly, I'm trying to cross-compile GNU IceCat from my Debian 
partition, but the detail is the following: my problem is how to I do 
for identify the avariable build targets that I have in my PC, because 
I've installed MinGW-w64 for Debian, alongside with the steps described 
in this webpage:


https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:IceCat/Compile_and_package/build_38.8.0_on_devuan_(debian)_jessie

And that's what I got in the cross-compile process (you know, "./mach 
build"):


http://pastebin.com/1puD6aYA

If anyone wants to help me to show the avariable build targets to avoid 
the annoyance of fail in every tryout of cross-compile, I'll be appreciated.


Thanks by your reply.

Curious -- thanks for that. I actually tried building the 32-bit

I've realized that is possible to cross-compile Firefox-based browsers.

Anyway, the latest version of GNU IceCat for Windows (38.8.0) was

Libre browsing is needed in any environment; one main difference (about
results) is that in DRM-based OSes is really difficult to reach freedom
in this, and in libre OSes is pretty if you use IceCat.

That is very nice.

There are 2 bugs that I have observed in IceCat:

1. When clicking with right mouse button on the links, first time,
IceCat is turning on sound device, or changing volume. I cannot
understand why is that necessary, as there was no media involved. This
is over and over again.

2. IceCat is always creating the file ~/Desktop, and doing nothing
with it. It should not be the IceCat's business to create that file. I
have no use of it, it makes no sense.

Thank you for the maintenance release.

GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the
GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical
one: it is entirely free software. While the Firefox source code from
the Mozilla project is free software, they distribute and recommend
non-free software as plug-ins and addons. Also their trademark license
restricts distribution in several ways incompatible with freedom 0.
