Supermode for Iceweasel [done]
2009-03-08 15:58
LumiukkoHello,

is it possible to enable supermode for "Iceweasel". Iceweasel = Firefox renamed for Debian. Iceweasel can install and use Firefox extensions and add-ons, but currently supermode does not run in Iceweasel. I only get a message saying: "Sorry. Supermode is supported in Firefox 2 and 3 only! ...". I quess your script is checking the browser and accepts only "Firefox"?

utopia.lvIceweasel is based on Firefox 2 source code and will not support Supermode extension.
Please use IceCat 3 which is evolution of Iceweasel.

LumiukkoHello,

GNU IceWeasel was renamed to GNU Icecat because Debian was also using the name Iceweasel, so in Debian the browser is still called Iceweasel. AFAIK the Debian Iceweasel 3.0.6 that I am currently using is also based on FF3 sources.

LumiukkoI have tried to install firefox, but so far no luck. Tried also Icecat, but ran into same problems as with firefox.
I may end changing Debian into Ubuntu, as Ubuntu has firefox included.

utopia.lvIt should work now.
Also I think it is possible for iceweasel to specify useragent as firefox/3.0. (in about:config), therefore webpages will see it as Firefox 3.
