Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat browser default on Windows 7?

[Narcis Garcia]

I mean that it's not just v45 a major reason for this matter, because
this reason was the same for v38 and will be the same for v52 and future.
I feel the point is to *feel* security and privacy when using Windows as
it was at the same level as in GNU/Linux operating systems.

Using Icecat number 45 same as the number 45 of GNU/Linux makes people
to feel they have similar level of security and privacy, and because of
this false appearance, I suggest them to use IceCat v38 in the meanwhile
without worrying too much about this small piece in the operating
environment, because the vulnerabilities problem is the operating
environment.
