[Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat 12?

[Loic J. Duros]

Hello:

First of all, thanks for all the work on IceCat in the past!

The most recent version of GNU IceCat currently is version 10.0. I 
believe 10.2 had security fixes. Also we are a few days away from the 
release of Mozilla Firefox 12, which introduce many improvements. 
LibreJS, my extension, will make use on some of the improvements of 
version 12. It would be great then to get the GNU IceCat project going. 
I'd like to work on this, given that I'm also working on a privacy 
extension for IceCat as well.

I'm looking through the archives (rather long to read it all in one 
time) and trying to figure out how Firefox is being customized into 
IceCat (removal of AMO from the about:addons section, ...). Has this 
been traditionally performed with a script, gradually improved, or in 
another way? Ruben Rodriguez from Trisquel has a made a bash script for 
the Trisquel browser, Abrowser, which does a job similar, although it 
does not add the extensions that ship with IceCat by default.
