Revision as of 02:28, 24 March 2015

Disclaimer: This article (including Discussion page) have merged from Trisquel web browser repository. Many add-ons have been updated, removed, or replaced: either they were incompatible with IceCat 31.5.0 (based on Firefox ESR 31.5.0), have been superseeded by another add-on, had bad rating, or was not significant popular any longer.

Approved add-ons not listed

These add-ons are not proposed, they have been approved by the FSF. However they have not been officially listed on the IceCat page yet for unknown reasons.

  • HTML5 Video Everywhere!
  • SpyBlock

Language packs

Language packs are add-ons that let you to have more languages available for the user interface of IceCat.

To find language packs for your version of IceCat, visit http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/, click on your version (also look in newer version of your release), then go to the langpacks directory.

better-defaults-collection-31.5.0.xpi

This collection includes add-ons that are part of IceCat. The collection are useful for old versions of IceCat that didn't have them installed, or Firefox users.

Also, it has been suggested in the bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org mailing list that the further versions of the default icecat installation should come without any add-ons pre-installed. This would reflect the default Firefox ESR that IceCat are forked on. For example LibreJS is still `experimental`.

This collection can easily be compressed into a single file with the CLEO add-on and be prompted for installation the first time a user open IceCat.
