Hi Emmanuel:

I just took on the role of maintainers a few weeks ago, and I'm
preparing a new version, IceCat 12. I haven't looked much at the IceCat
version 10.

Early version of the extension GNU LibreJS could run slow with certain
pages using JavaScript (the later versions are faster now.) I don't
think LibreJS should be included in IceCat 10, when I compiled it I
didn't see it. but you might want to give a check to about:addons and
see what extensions are on. This would be for me to know, given that
I'll probably add all these addons in version 12. I have good hopes the
new version will come out sometimes next week or the week after (before
June.)

For the uninstallation, I'm looking into it and will get back to you.

Thanks,

Loic
