I'm compiling Iceweasel right now and i'm going to attempt to plug it into the system xulrunner, lol. It's the same version anyways so I don't see why the branding being changed will introduce new bugs and I'm not using debians security patches. I'll update on this and if it works i'll look into modifying the firefox spec to use this instead. However i'm kind of a noob at packaging and probably can't maintain this forever. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
