Not a nice idea, but, at least as a temporary workaround, could Fedora ship both a Firefox and an Iceweasel; Firefox complying with the trademark rules, and Iceweasel working as users would want it. Could the Fedora shipped Firefox even have a home page that says "Have you tried Iceweasel ..."? And bugs reported against Firefox could be closed with "Fixed in Iceweasel". -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
