FYI - Iceweasel 28

[GoinEasy9]

Seems Iceweasel 28 has hit the experimental repo.  After using it for a while, it appears stable. 

apt-get -t experimental install iceweasel

Very nice -- thank you.  I'm a KDE user, with the air desktop theme and air-oxygen-color window decorations, and this iceweasel looks very nice.

Is it possibel to install this parallel to the

If you use mozilla.debian.org, you can use 28, 29 or 30. I am on the aurora channel, who brought in 30 today. I use this channel on a production machine for ~ 2 years now and had no problems. 29 btw features the new design (australis) which I like a lot.

You mean mozilla.debian.net I guess?
Does that overwrite the official Debian iceweasel or is it side by side?

[devil]

Ups, yes, it is .net, not .org, sorry about that.
As both come through apt, I doubt they can coexist.
Btw, right now the aurora-channel ships IW 30 right now, which is the first browser from that repo, that ever made any problems. 30 is broken in a way that it forgets about it's tabs once it's closed. The only way to get them back, is the history (ctrl-h).

I have installed the 30 now, curious as I am (yes, it replaces the other version), and encounter the same problem of browser dementia on restart - among other problems.

Some add-ons do not appear in the toolbar anymore (e.g. I cannot use the website screenshot tool Awesome Screenshot and I cannot see the zoom factor or zoom only the text because the buttons are gone). Adjusting the toolbar does not work (opens a blank page with address "about:customizing"). So I cannot add add-ons to the toolbar and I cannot adjust the symbols' positions and size (seems to be 16 and way too small for me, in chromium the add-on icons are 22 I guess, at least bigger).

And the space between the add-on icons is too wide, consumes too much space IMHO. Although the icons are smaller than in chromium 4 iceweasel add-on icons take the same horizontal space as 5-6 chromium add-on icons...

Looks like a bad copy of chromium - and it seems to be slower than the "official" versions (24 & 28)...

BTW: Prerequisite for updating Iceweasel to aurora 30 was the installation of libnss3 libnss3:i386 libnss3-1d libnss3-1d:i386 xulrunner-30 which also uninstalled libnss3-nssdb (no d-u, just apt-get install iceweasel).
