Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat 45.2 urgently needed

The problem with Firefox 44 and greater is, that Mozilla removed the cookie prompt from core Firefox, namely the "Ask me every time" option for "Keep [cookies] until:". This affects all browsers that use the Gecko rendering engine, including Seamonkey. The relevant bugs are here: *

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Suggestion: have a button for disable JavaScript

Do you use a mobile or desktop browser? The best extension for you is NoScript, available from https://noscript.net or the Mozilla app repository, and listed on the IceCat webpage: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat NoScript blocks scripts and uses a built-in whitelist, which you can edit on

[Bug-gnuzilla] Cookie confirmation dialog loss in Firefox; affects GNU IceCat

Hi there. After Firefox 44.0 was released, it turned out, that it lost the cookie confirmation dialog, and upgrading to version 44.0 also deleted all per-site permissions for cookies. It's a reduction of privacy options, and also introduces some dataloss. All this was achieved in Mozilla Bug

WebGL is important for very modern websites, such as the Independence Day: Resurgence site warof1996.com. WebGL should be turned off by default, with a UI option to turn it on in the desktop version, if a site wants to use it — the way it currently does with plugins, and if the computer supports
