AFAIK the maintainer of IceCat won't release the next version until a number of extensions are completed for it. Since most security vulnerabilities are related to JavaScript, hopefully it's not as much of an issue (since IceCat uses LibreJS). gNewSense 3.0 uses Iceweasel 3.5 by default, which has security patches by the Debian Mozilla team. Many gNewSense users use IceCat as well though. Andrew.
