RIP Iceweasel, welcome Firefox.

I was never impressed with Iceweasel, not even when I was using Ubuntu back in the days. I also haven't dared using it on my fresh Debian install. Looking forward to Ffox.

Look and feel with Firefox from Windows looked really different back in Ubuntu 10.10 days, although I haven't checked Iceweasel recently.

I think a new FF version has to be scrutinised by Debian first before it becomes the new Iceweasel version. Are you saying Iceweasel browser will be discontinued and Debian will use the Firefox name? Or are you saying Iceweasel will be updated shortly? |
Yes.
See #815006 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=815006 Meaning #354622 is solved https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=354622 |

The first link says: Code:
= About the Debian specific patches = Mozilla is passing some control of Firefox to Debian in return for free security. This is a win for Debian. From another perspective, it seems some girly argument has finally been resolved (probably with someone from Mozilla leaving). |
Cool. So should I do something special, or will this just change on its own with an update eventually?
|
It might eventually change automatically, but you can make the change now by
Code:
apt-get remove iceweasel && apt-get install firefox 38.x is in Jessie, 46b1 is in Stretch/Sid. |

The name and icon will auto-change in Firefox once Iceweasel(firefox)-ESR38 is EOL (in 2/3 months). |
Will icedove change to thunderbird as well?
|
I doubt it, as Mozilla is not developing Thunderbird anymore. Im happy with Icedove.

Really? Because that's what I wanted, but when I had installed (the day before I posted), 46b1 was the only Firefox version available in both Stretch and SID. Guess they got the stable version in, maybe I'll downgrade.
