Huh. So this page would be okay in FSDG? Interesting. I object to its content, but changes are trivial to make. > > Next, can I keep the default bookmarks?

I have no issues with that, but as far as Icecat existence goes, GNU seems to have a problem with it.

I've started experimenting with the extensions integration with Firefox ESR 54+, if that is what you mean. As Gentoo patches it to make use of a vendor location for other Mozilla-based products, and Archlinux as well as Nix, my guess is that you just have to figure out the right combination of punchholes for our Lispmachine :) If that is what you meant. > -- > Chris Thanks for taking a look at this :) -- A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 https://n0.is
