I know the relationship between firefox/iceweasel/icecat.
I am a long time GNU/Linux user. Maybe not longer than many of you, but long
enough to know the relationship between firefox/iceweasel/icecat. And I assume
everyone here knows this, and everyone here knows others knows this. Apparently,
I made a wrong assumption.
What I was trying to say is:
Hey, guys, I made a patch for firefox (or iceweasel, or icecat, depending on
your interpretation). If you run into problems like this, please try my patch.
