Greetings to all. Sorry if I have not completed the Slackware installation log, but this time I come to announce that Mozilla has just released version 23 of Mozilla Firefox branch release. The main change that has been made to Mozilla Firefox is mainly its logo. Enter the other improvements added, they are:
- Improved plugin installer interface.
- Social sharing function added.
- Improvement and optimization of the internal page about: memory for better management.
- Removal of the options: "load images automatically", "Activate JavaScript" and "Always show the tab bar" in the menus.
- Enabling mixed locks to protect users from man-in-the-middle attacks and suspicious mixed content (more information about this feature in this link).
- Rendering enhancements (more information in this link).
- Removed item and the decorative effect of the same name.
- Change of search engine used in the browser at a general level.
For more details about this new version, visit this link.
To update to the latest version of Firefox, you can install it manually or via this script offered by Zironid. In case you have the current version in the repositories of your distros, update them through them.
In the case of Iceweasel, the update would arrive in a period of 24 and 48 hours after the official version of Firefox was launched as usual, in addition, the news and changes about the Iceweasel versions can be seen through this page (For stable branches, Iceweasel's release branch is easy to update via the Mozilla official backport from Debian; for testing, the experimental repo is used, although the backport is suggested to avoid any problems with the packages).
I can confirm that in Ubuntu 12.04 it is already in the official repositories.
Good. Now the other distros are missing and that Iceweasel is in Arch's AUR with all its complete packages.
Iceweasel in AUR?
I've been using Arch for a long time and I think iceweasel was in the AUR repositories, unless they changed it recently.
Well, I didn't know. I have it for breakfast now 😀
@elav The truth is for that reason that I want to learn how to install Arch. For me, Iceweasel is Firefox refined.
Yep, it's in AUR, but if you want it in Spanish you'll have to download the language pack from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/language-tools/
Actually, it would be easier to invert the .deb packages with alien and then install the Spanish language of Iceweasel.
Iceweasel Spanish language packs have already been repaired in the AUR >> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iceweasel/ << and now it really motivated me to try Arch.
Iceweasel 23 is already available, in fact I am writing from the 🙂
For now, it is available for 64-bit in the experimental repo. I hope that the 32-bit version is already ready in the backports.
No, I use stable Wheezy, I have active backports, just do an aptitude update and then aptitude safe-upgrade. If you already had the mozilla team repos with the backports, it will update you only. This is how I have it and I have Debian 32 bit stable, no experimental repos.
We're even. Also, it was only this morning that the 32-bit version of Iceweasel arrived in the backport.
Has Iceweasel changed the icon too?
I do not think, the change of logo of Firefox follows the trend of the "flat design" of Android, but I have 23 on this platform and I continue with the old logo.
That I give you the reason. Also, I rarely use Firefox on Windows because of how slow it renders the pages.
Hope that gecko for Windows has been lightened up.
On the penguin side, I am using Iceweasel which gives me no problems.
Hopefully Sero will come later and it's not just about steam.

In Ubuntu 13.04 it is already available to update firefox 23, updating at this time
Yesterday I updated to version 23, since I am in Arch when changing the version the Firefox language changes to English ... this was solved by lowering the XPI of the language in this case es-MX from one of these two directions:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ or
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
In recent updates, this bug has already been solved, but in this version 23 the problem has returned, with the addition that downloading the XPI no longer works for me, or entering the about: config to modify the "general.useragent.locale" property.
Apparently the AdBlock Plus extension does not work.
Has something similar happened to someone else?
Do you have the firefox-i18n-en-us package installed?
In about: config, you will find the default language setting. There you can use any language package other than English and you set it as the default.
Thanks for your attention. Responding to Gato, I already have the firefox-i18n-en-mx package.
And then Eliot the about: config method I already used it and in fact in the Add-ons tab I also have the es-Mx language pack activated, I have already been thinking about it and nothing, I will wait for the next update, although I am thinking to go back to 22. For the rest, the browser feels lighter.
Also certain extensions although they are activated and apparently everything is in order, it is not like that. The extension that definitely doesn't work is Adblock Plus.
I take the opportunity to say that in the Android version they fixed a lot of things, such as that when you filled in forms the pages were "squashed" as if they were a sandwich and that sometimes your phone would freeze.
With the update, none of the search engines in the address bar work anymore. Curious.
People in Opera 12.16 Compilation: 1860 I can't see anything written, if I try with another browser I have no problems. Here is a screen print: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturadepantalla-070813-125919.php
Don't you think this is the wrong place? Try here: https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/
Before it looked good, so comment here. You can see that they did something because now it looks good. Thank you
Opera 12.16 (1860) has been failing for a long time.
How can I have Iceweasel on Kubuntu 13.10 64 bit?
I'm already using mozilla 23, you don't notice much change but I like it
Every time I update Firefox it disables the option click to play and for some reason I can't activate it anymore, does anyone know about this?
They removed it, as well as the option to disable javascript and disable the loading of images.
I read out there that the click to play I had bugs, but I don't know if I saw well.
aur / iceweasel 22.0.deb1-1 (4)
Debian Browser based on Mozilla Firefox
The logo change is for Firefox, not Iceweasel.
Also, they have improved the rendering a bit.
I'm already with Iceweasel 23 🙂
Congratulations. In the evening I will update my Iceweasel.
Update to Iceweasel 23. They didn't change the logo, but the logo is a bit bigger and in the "about Iceweasel" window, the word Iceweasel doesn't appear.
True, but it has one thing that for me is incredibly good and that I had not realized.
The search engine you use on the home page is the one you have selected in the search engine box 🙂
In this way, Google does not have to be the search engine you use.
That rescued the Firefox Debian Mozilla team when compiling Iceweasel.
Thanks for the info, updated Iceweasel.
Updated Firefox 23 on a friend's PC. Something lighter than usual. To return to the cave of the weasel.
Iceweasel does not have a sharing feature. I think it's only in firefox
That's true.
I update it directly from the browser
Well, that new logo: I love it 🙂 They could have already renewed Iceweasel's too ...
Iceweasel's hasn't changed so far. On the other hand, that of Firefox did change its logo.
That's right, with the arrival of Firefox OS, the need to change the logo was seen to make it easier to view it on mobile devices (not for a fashion as I mentioned there), at first it did not quite convince me, but over time I have taken a liking to him.
I have not been able to install IceWeasel in my Arch from AUR, it gives me an error in the compilation, does the same thing happen to anyone
What do they want Iceweasel in Arch for? There is nothing special, it is a Firefox with more crappy logos and it seems that some security improvements (inherited from Debian). Also, for some reason the weasel is slower on my machines than the fox.
Try using the flags with Iceweasel to make it run faster, or replace Firefox with Iceweasel (since they cannot both run at the same time).
This is what I do, I download Firefox from the official site and install it. I will try that of the flags later, because it makes me more comfortable updating it with apt-get than directly from the browser.
In that I agree with you. What's more, I hate that updater that is in the browser in the official Firefox for GNU / Linux. Good thing I use Iceweasel, and it works wonders for me.
I have had Iceweasel 23 for a while, I recommend to place the experimental repository or rather see this page http://mozilla.debian.net/ so they will have the latest version of Iceweasel the same with icedove
I already mentioned it in the article. Also, the changelog for the current version of Iceweasel is this >> http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs//main/i/iceweasel/iceweasel_23.0-1_changelog << In addition, there have been several changes that imply incompatibilities with some plugins (such as AdBlock Plus).
What about plugins? I currently use NOIA 2.8 in firefox and I don't want to change this appearance of the browser, or the other add-ons.
Hopefully they update the add-ons to adapt to this version of Firefox.
Then he installed it in Slackware, in the meantime it's time to update my Arch.
ready, greetings from firefox 23
