It's not about security, IceCat is highly insecure, we're always months behind the latest ESR even. It's about people everywhere, regardless of OS, not being stuck with such things as EME and mandatory signing. Hell with Firefox and Chrome, Linux has that now too. -- -Dan Q On Thu, 29 Dec

I think there's been a real problem lately where complaints by users are being confused with official project decisions. Like when v45.5 and v45.3 were released Linux only, some of us asked if a Windows version would be available, and it turned into arguments about whether we should expand
