Writing from Iceweasel 41.0a2. Using it for a while. I had to install additionally libnss3_3.19.2-1 from http://pkgs.org/debian-sid/debian-main- ... 6.deb.html.mzsade wrote:Please tell us how it goes, i am still not intrepid enough to go beyond the release version.
I have used Firefox Aurora before in my Xubuntu remix. Works very well. Iceweasel Aurora would work very well in Jessie too. I rebooted Jessie twice, and still there are no problems.

Funny thing; i added this, "deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports iceweasel-aurora" in addition to "deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports iceweasel" to my sources.list and did a "sudo apt-get update". Since i'd already done a "apt-get install -t jessie-backports iceweasel" for version 39.0 i thought i'd go to Synaptic and see if Aurora showed up separately. Instead it was just Iceweasel with a yellow star showing as upgradable. I realized it was because it was an Alpha version of the same package, applied the upgrade and tried it out. Sadly, this time i have to be the one to say that it did not make a whit of difference. As it did not make any sense to have 2 deb lines in my sourece.list for the same package i first Forced Version back to 39.0, then commented out the aurora line and did an apt-get update. That's 41.3 MB of bandwidth down the drain.Deshapria wrote:Writing from Iceweasel 41.0a2. Using it for a while.

.Lesson learned; all these newer versions mozilla comes up with periodically are just numbers, i seriously doubt they do any work on it and i do not expect anything earth shattering from the newer release version when it comes out.

I suppose you are right. I don't see much difference, even though I am now using Iceweasel Aurora.mzsade wrote: Lesson learned; all these newer versions mozilla comes up with periodically are just numbers, i seriously doubt they do any work on it and i do not expect anything earth shattering from the newer release version when it comes out.
