The location doesn't really matter.
The issue is that IceCat 31.8.0-2 for Windows has a bug that causes hardware
acceleration to crash IceCat on run.
To disable hardware acceleration:
Open Command Prompt
path to the location you extracted IceCat. ex, cd Users\<your-
username-here>\Downloads\icecat\
IceCat --safe-mode
Select run in safe mode
enter about:config into the address bar
Search for gfx.direct2d.disabled
Set it to true
IceCat should no longer crash on run.
optionally, you can also search for layers.acceleration.disabled
and set it to false.
I find this provides a major performance boost to html5 video, and doesn't seem
to be the cause of the boot crash.
