Libre forks

Since the Firefox brand is copyrighted by the Mozilla Foundation, special forks exist, created to remove those copyrighted assets and replace them with free/libre ones.

• GNU IceCat is a fork mantained by the GNU Project. Besides replacing the copyrighted bits, IceCat adds some small security/privacy features, and hosts a list of addons that are released under a free license.
• IceWeasel is the fork mantained by the Debian Project. It was created to fit Debians philosophy of backporting, instead of updating to a newer version more nicely.
