It means that IceCat includes a huge set of libraries already provided by the system, wasting space in the live cd and being prone to failure. > And how is this a problem for Trisquel when it is not > a problem for gNewSense, which is likewise Debian/Ubuntu based? AFAIK gNewSense's browser is Epiphany, and IceCat is provided via an external repository. > Web Browser 3.5?

It will ship with whatever version is the official upstream, to have the same level of support. Stability and security are more important than modernity. > Audio and video tags for Vorbis were supported in FireFox in 3.5 (and > there has been the Cortado Java plugin for any users that do not yet have > native HTML5 support in their browsers).

We hope to have the 3.6 version or newer in Trisquel 4, Lucid based. If having a "bleeding edge" version of a free Firefox clone is so important, we would support any community effort to maintain such a package/repo. The official and default browser needs to come from upstream, though. _______________________________________________ Trisquel-users mailing list [email protected] http://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/trisquel-users
