A similar addon (Old Location Bar) makes FF3.x tolerable. Do you mean it puts location bar above tabs? My main motivation for moving to 4 was freedom from ffflash, and the ability to build lighter netbooks. Eh? YouTube isn't the be-all and end-all of video... I don't think all YouTube videos are HTML5 yet, but it's the most common reason users cite for needing ffflash. And ffflash is a pain to keep updated. I can force apt-get on them, and easy as Iceweasel makes things - I can't force (l)users to update extensions/plugins. Yeah Gnash works, kind of... kudos to the guy's work too (another Aussie!), but I still dislike ffflash - I can't think of any justification for it. Disclaimer: I use YouTube, saves bandwidth on sites, makes for another backlink - but mostly it keeps clients happy (bless their pointy little heads) snipped The Workplace Shell was pretty amazing. I loved Warp 3 on my 486DX33. It's still good. I had some clients who own a string of service stations - they still run OS/2 - for POS, training, and inventory.

The new tab button is IMHO an improvement. Yes, I had to spend some time fiddling around with the UI options to make it look like I wanted, (the home button; the reload button) but there it is. Personally I rather like FF4. It is without any doubt faster, which alleviates one major complaint from chrome users against FF. That, in itself, justifies it's existence.

That explains my confusion (failure to properly read your post) - I 'thought' it had something to do with Iceweasel/Firefox 4 (I can't even remember what 2x looked like). I note that the developer is considering a version for Firefox 4x. I was referring to the most obvious UI change between 3x and 4x - that the tabs now appear above the location bar (which means the addons tab obscures the location bar). Increasingly I like the new 4x ui - though I suspect Google Chrome is quicker, but Iceweasel is my favourite because I distrust the packagers less, and I like the addons. To be fair I haven't really tried the latest Konqueror. All I wait for now is Swiftfox 4 :-) I've heard similar complaints from users about changes, which I dismissed. I'll rethink that now and I shall bear your experience and solutions in mind. Cheers -- Tuttle? His name's Buttle. There must be some mistake. Mistake?

Clicking on that will open a new tab. One click instead of two! :-) Muscle memory and habit. I also wondered where the open in new tab went - till I watched a small child do it! :-/ I *found* it, but it had moved for no reason. Like a wife that rearranges the furniture for no reason except I was bored. Tabs and the search bar were the big UI advances in the history of Netscape Mozilla. The original (derived from Mosaic?) UI was darned good as it was. Hang in there - I'm sure you're not the only one. It's just a matter of time before someone comes up with a theme that makes the 4 ui look like 3.x. Most probably. A similar addon (Old Location Bar) makes FF3.x tolerable. My main motivation for moving to 4 was freedom from ffflash, and the ability to build lighter netbooks. Eh? YouTube isn't the be-all and end-all of video... The Win98/2K (originally from Win95???) Start button is still a good motif. Panels (originally from OSX?) and applets when *combined* with the Start menu make it even more useful. I seem to remember a Start style button on my first PS/2 - long before Windoof 3 (IBM OS2/Win32) The Workplace Shell was pretty amazing.

That doesn't establish a schedule for migration to testing. Since we are no longer under freeze, an upload to experimental indicates that the DD uploading the package has doubts about it's quality, and is seeking wider testing before even uploading to unstable. (This may be due to the quality of the upstream software OR packaging changes.) Once the package hits unstable, you can use http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/iceweasel.html to watch the testing migration and watch it move to Wheezy. Normally, I think 15 days is the waiting period, but that can be controlled somewhat by the DD performing the upload to unstable.

Would pinning of 200 be needed like when using regular bckports?

Re: iceweasel 4 on squeeze?
I don't think it would give you the already at the newest version error if it was a server load issue. It looks like it's not even going out to the site, its checking its version and leaving satisfied. I thought it might be that the version was called something like iceweasel-4 but that wasn't to be. I did check, and the versions available are Version: 3.0.6-3 Version: 3.5.16-5 Version: 3.5.17-1 Version: 4.0~rc2-2 Version: 4.0-1~bpo60+1 which would be lenny, squeeze, wheezy/sid, experimental and squeeze-backports. I wonder if it has anything to do with the odd version numbers. --b On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 7:02 PM, Peter Tynan peter.ty...@gmail.com wrote: On 23 March 2011 22:57, Andreas Rönnquist gus...@gusnan.se wrote: On Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:17:44 + Peter Tynan peter.ty...@gmail.com wrote: On 23 March 2011 15:04, Brad Alexander stor...@gmail.com wrote: Very cool site.
