The following extra packages will be installed: iceape iceape-browser iceape-chatzilla Suggested packages: fonts-stix otf-stix xul-ext-dom-inspector libgnomeui-0 The following packages will be REMOVED: iceweasel The following NEW packages will be installed: iceape iceape-browser iceape-chatzilla Not wanting iceape etc, I unzipped the file (sic) firefox-17.0.5esr.tar.bz2 (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/17.0.5esr/linux-x86_64/en-US/) un-arc(ed) this and (in which) it created it's own directory (firefox) I 'cd' to that directory and ran firefox.. $firefox ./firefox It looks just like iceweasel excepting for the usual few incompatible add-ons. Now I have firefox ESR 17.0.5 OR iceweasel 10.0.12 one can take one's pick. What am I looking for here, better HTML 5 (?) Will that do away with all those video-not-available messages I see on youtube, or make things worse? More options are generally welcomed. Before anyone wants to make the suggestion to remove iceweasel after installing firefox, apt-get remove (still) wants to install iceape etc. in iceweasel's place. (after firefox is installed) Unless I want iceape and the iceape browser and chatzilla installed, I have to keep iceweasel in place.
