It's here: Firefox 27 (and Iceweasel 27)

Greetings to all. It is known that it takes me a while to announce the news of a new version of Firefox that usually comes out every Tuesday like February 4, which was launched on Firefox 27, so I finally got version 27 of Iceweasel, and finally I will take the trouble to make a comparison of the features offered by both the fox and the weasel browsers.

Among the latests Moravia's compositions features that Firefox offers us, are:

  1. Run more than one service thanks to SocialAPI.
  2. TLS 1.1 and 1.2 enabled by default.
  3. Implementation of "allow pop-ups" directives in iframe sandboxes, increasing security.
  4. Make Azure / Skia rendering work on Linux.

Among other functions, which can go to the first link in which it is in the paragraph that precedes the list.

On the weasel side, it seems that the mystery of the disappearance of the word "Iceweasel" in the window "about" is added to the mysterious renaming of "Iceweasel" to "Nightly", thus making us suspicious that from time to time the changelog "is conspicuous by its absence" (it may appear as soon as this article is published), but we can contribute to this version of Iceweasel in this bugs page to prevent Iceweasel from declining in quality. And for you to see with your own eyes, here I show you why the weasel has become a night owl:

iceweasel-27-nightly

UPDATE: Iceweasel 27 has already released an update in which they solve these flaws, they can update it without problems.

    How can I have Iceweasel in Netrunner 13.12 (64)?
    This browser has always caught my attention; for now I am using Firefox-Aurora 28.0a2 and would like to change it but I think it is only for Debian.

      I recommend you stay in Firefox.

      1.    eliotime3000 said

        As long as you use plugins in bulk. If not, take a taste.

          It's exactly the same ...

          1.    eliotime3000 said

            Install all the plugins you normally use in Firefox and tell me which ones work for you in Iceweasel and which ones don't (if they all work, it's a debiangelist miracle).

          2.    pandev92 said

            Well that is exactly the same with the incentive that iceweasel is much less compatible.

    He also arrived today in Manjaro

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      Excellent. I'll keep it in mind.

  3.   Garbage_Killer said

    how well they fixed that fault, with good reason I stayed yesterday ._. It's good that you're on the lookout for iceweasel.

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      It is that they launched it too early. At least, on Saturday with an hour to go, the bugfix arrived with Debian Wheezy update 7.4.

    It also seemed to me: -O when reading Nightly instead of Iceweasel when updating to 27 yesterday.

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      Just update, they already fixed this bug.

  5.   Garbage_Killer said

    one more flaw in the useragent, the good thing that that can be fixed manually. : p

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      In my case, it was not necessary. At least, the problem was updating the user-agent detector that the site has.

  6.   eliotime3000 said

    And by the way, Debian Wheezy 7.4 has arrived, with the news that Icecat disappeared from the main repos.

    Returning to Iceweasel, the mythical easter egg "about: iceweasel" returned.

    I have updated Aurora to 29.0a2 and the interface change reminds me of another copy of the Chrome interface, for now I am still using Opera 12.15 and this one. Before with the reduced menu you managed, now you have to put the menu bar again to have something complete.

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      Man, that's the Australis interface. At first glance, it looks like a Chrome interface. However, the interface has a very different modus operandi than the Chromium interface.

      Let's see if Opera's copypaste ends soon so we can take a closer look at the interface.

    I have it from Debian Experimental and I had to pull it because Jessie's freeze completely leaving the PC unusable until the next reboot, not even the Magic Keys worked. Now I walk with Iceweael 27 and the 3.13-trunk kernel from Experimental and without problems.

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      Well, in my case, the only page that really freezes me is the Facebook one, and what I have discovered is that Firefox already implemented the system of isolated processes in Chrome, allowing me to close it without the Firefox itself freezing. They really became one.

      For now, I will be temporarily using Chromium due to the tab freezing as soon as I open the "feis".

    http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/595/ I know it has nothing to do with the subject, but it is about Debian and the fake developers to get the steam games.

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      From what this pod of Steam gifts generates. I think that you would be within the Debian team precisely to be able to improve Iceweasel and contribute with the revision of new programs and components so that Debian is superior to Ubuntu and derivatives.
