Yes, trisquel 6 is supported until 2017 so I guess then I will have to
compile the packages myself if it isn't a very laborious effort or switch to
another libre distribution.
Unfortunately it isn't. I have an older laptop that I can't install trisquel
7 because of screen resolution problems. I think I'm not the only one in this
situation. So, I Would like a newer version of abrowser (not necessarily 44).
I am eager to help but don't know where to start.
I
But 44 is still outdated. Abrowser is not receiving security updates in any
version of Trisquel.
The Abrowser in Trisquel 7 isn't up-to-date either. And Trisquel 6 should
still be receiving security updates *for now*.
What are the steps required to update abrowser 44 in order to be available
from apt-get as an update for Trisquel 6?
,I would love install FF9 again ;D

I found an old computer with Firefox 9. Back when Firefox was less of a
monster.
I use Abrowser 36 ...XD
This is a regrettable situation indeed; however, I recommend running abrowser
in a jail (using firejail), which will hopefully mitigate at least some of
the potential issues.
This really needs some attention ASAP.
Hi all !
Just installed and fully updated Trisquel-mini 6.0.1
I've noticed that Abrowser is at version 41.0.2 ?
Does anyone know why this is ?
I thought Trisquel 6 was supported until 2017 ?
Thanks
Yes it is a big deal. Trisquel 6 is supported so security updates are
expected.
But that´s not a big deal. If you want to upgrade it, do it. & yes, Tisquel
6 LTS is supported until 2017

Looks like abrowser 41 has no less than 16 critical vulnerabilities when
compared with the current firefox 45. And then there are the high, moderate
and low impact vulnerabilities... (probably not all of them on GNU/Linux
though)

Type about:config (without ) in the address bar and change the value of

Don't even know if this bug affects my 16.0 version of IceWeasel...
It most certainly does.
Yeah ! (not...) I had the little hope that it had been solved... silly me xD

It's the version that has been released :D Thanks for the information !
What I would love to do is release a distribution based on Ubuntu LTS. Spend
a year or so focused on getting it just right. Then let someone else worry
about maintaining a few key packages.
We need a backports repository for abrowser, linux-libre, and hplip.
It shouldn't be too terribly
Yeah, I have been thinking that too. But why you want it to be based on
Ubuntu? I am interested to know why.
In my opinion Debian is a better choise because it does not have that much
trademark and branding things like Ubuntu and when it gets good supplement
repos the fact that there is
Firefox 16 Pulled To Address Security Vulnerability
Heh, the joy of the latest and greatest.
I'm assuming Debian does not have in its backports the packages which define
Trisquel (abrowser, linux-libre, etc). The reason for using Ubuntu is that it
is a bit more polished. I was thinking (or Debian) in my head. Chose not to
write that though.
Did I or someone say or imply it was trivial? It's not like any of this is
going to get done by a less than technical user.
One said he could patch FF, but that he haven't patched anything before. The
offer is appreciated but it implies that patching would be trivial. It is not
unless you get the patch from somewhere. If you have to make the patch, then
it is not trivial.
I definitely didn't think it would be a trivial task. I'm not going to
overstate my abilities, because I've not done any serious programming (e.g.
hacking Gecko). But I have written some small programs in C (and I know some
other languages better).
I will at least check out what Ruben's
Ok, that's a great attitude and I think you can do it.
Well said Chris

Startpage/Ixquick.com provides anonymous image search but they don't have
custom image search.

As expected, Firefox 16 was pushed to the Ubuntu repos for you Trisquel 5.5
users: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/firefox
Makes you wonder if Ruben skips 15 and goes right to 16. If he goes right
from 14 to 15, then there's the risk of always being one version behind.
Yikes.
Depending on what it is that changed it may not matter. abrowser isn't the
only project which is 'behind' the official release. Until recently Canonical
wasn't keeping up with the newer versions either. They stuck to a stable
older supported (for the majority of the time it was included in
My understanding is pretty much that only the latest release is supported by
Mozilla. Version 10 is apparently still supported, though, for some reason.
Honestly, Firefox's scheme it started with version 5 is like a parody... hey,
let's constantly upgrade Firefox and inflate the number, no
I'm going to back up a moment just to clarify something for users.
What mozilla does and with support for Firefox and what the GNU/Linux
distributions do are different. You can have a completely patched version of
14 when 16 is the only version supported by mozilla.
2nd. mozilla went back
Debian sticks with ESR releases (Wheezy will have Iceweasel 10) but I'd
assume Ubuntu doesn't because they like having bleeding-edge software.
As for Abrowser/IceCat versions, I don't really worry too much because I run
with JavaScript disabled. Looking at Mozilla's Security Advisories, it
I'm not up to date on what each project is actually doing. I'm just stating
that each project is not necessarily dependent on mozilla for a patched
version of firefox. Distributions and projects can apply patches to older
versions. This was done with Ubuntu 10.04 with firefox after mozilla
Agreed - Mozilla discontinuing support shouldn't affect what Ubuntu or
Trisquel do, if backporting is (or can be) done. Does anyone know if Abrowser
backports security patches? I'm not sure myself.
Another thought would be that perhaps people other than Ruben could build
Abrowser, or at
How come abrowser in Brigantia is still version 14 when Firefox 16 was
released today? Aren't abrowser versions supposed to track Firefox versions?
Looking at the Ubuntu web site, it seems like Oneiric's Firefox is currently
at version 15, so I guess Brigantia should follow suit?...
I'm taking a wild educated guess here although most likely some one in the
chain is lagging behind. The browser in Trisquel is not straight up Firefox.
It's a modified version so there has to be someone doing the modification
even if this is just a script that runs or a patch that is applied
Is there a special way I could ask for something to change in Abrowser ? I'm
asking this because I don't understand why they use DuckDuckGo Lite.
DuckDuckGo itself is a very good search engine, but the lite version is very
limited and almost only great for mobile :S... Because of this people
Yes, you can. Feel free to click on the bar and click on Manage Search
Engines and click on Get More Search Engines and then choose from the
available options in Mycroft.
Personally I'm using Startpage.com for privacy and since it shows exactly
what you'd get if you were on Google (Check
The Lite version is probably used because the full version requires non-free
javascript.
That Mycroft sounds good. DuckDuckGo is kinda meh, and good for simple
searches only. Many times I have to do my searching with Google after trying
first DuckDuckGo.
DuckDuckGo is just fine. I like to support them because Gabriel (the founder)
donates money to FS projects from his company's revenue besides partnering
with them. But their reliance of cookies to customize are annoying as I
browse in private mode. Yeah I can use some parameters in the URL
Hum.. I didn't see this that way.. But then why there is Google Search on
aBrowser and not on Iceweasel for example ?
Hmm, alright, it is worth to start searching with DuckDuckGo first then.
Thanks of the info.
I will be honest. As a normal user, DuckDuckGo is very frustrating since it
doesn't have all of the algorithms used by Google in order to almost know
exactly what you are searching for. And worse then that, there is no native
way to found images like with Google.
But as a developer an a
Ubuntu should have 16 in their repos in the next day or so. I'm disappointed
in Ruben for slacking in one of the more important Trisquel projects. Or
maybe I'm not considering it is taking him forever to release 6 when the
version he is basing it on was released 6 months ago!
You do have
Given your lack of contribution to this project, constant criticism,
ungratefulness, dislike of the distribution, and dislike of the only thing
which makes it unique why do you continue to hang out here? Just leave
already. AND that is putting it nicely.
