"ESR" stands for Extended Support Release. I'm just using the IceCat that comes with Guix. The exact version of Guix and IceCat I'm using on my x86_64-linux GuixSD system is: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [0] marusich@garuda.local:~ $ guix --version guix (GNU Guix) 40f856fae80ee8a274067fba0837cccb74d9642d Copyright (C) 2018 the Guix authors License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.

Is there any indication of what went wrong in the dev console (error HTTP status codes, JavaScript warnings, etc.)? If you can install normal FireFox on your OS, does it work? This might help determine if it's a problem with your installation of IceCat. >> since I don't really know what that website or jitsi is about, >> although I see that (at least some parts of jitsi) are free software, >> which is nice to know. > > It is free software (Apache license) as far as I know. > You can run your own instance if you like.

Nice to know there are other free software options out there, also. -- Chris
