Bug#522331: iceweasel supports non-free plugins
Hello, this is another idea that can be considered. What do you think about an additional package that once installed will change Iceweasel preferences in a way to use only free plugins/addons? Is is a reasonable option? Thanks, Giuseppe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Why not, though that would be a very small package. Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Obviously, the user would be presented packages available to his apt, depending on his configuration. Why use a webservice when you have local information already (though we would need additional data in packages metadata) Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.7-1 what do you think about use the GNU GNUzilla project plugins finder service instead of the current one? This plugins finder service is already used by the GNU IceCat web browser. Differently from the plugins finder service used now that suggests users to install non-free plugins, the GNUzilla service uses only Free plugins. It can be done easily using this line in the pref/firefox-branding.js file: pref (pfs.datasource.url, http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/plugins/PluginFinderService.php?mimetype=%PLUGIN_MIMETYPE%appID=%APP_ID%appVersion=%APP_VERSION%clientOS=%CLIENT_OS%chromeLocale=%CHROME_LOCALE%;); -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
