Replacing Firefox with Epiphany?Replacing Firefox with Epiphany?Posted Nov 6, 2007 13:52 UTC (Tue) by Cato (subscriber, #7643)In reply to: Replacing Firefox with Epiphany? by sybille Parent article: Ubuntu Weekly News: Issue #64
Exactly - although if I was developing Gobuntu I think it would be more sensible to update Firefox to use free icons than get rid of it...

There are no need to "update Firefox" Posted Nov 6, 2007 15:05 UTC (Tue) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Just use IceWeasel like Debian does... Probably Ubuntu does not want to create confusion but as a result it just makes Gobuntu a joke...
There are no need to "update Firefox" Posted Nov 6, 2007 19:06 UTC (Tue) by pointwood (subscriber, #2814) [Link] Why does it make Gobuntu a joke? If your goal is to create a completely free distro, then Firefox is sadly not an option. Blame Mozilla/Firefox which to the best of my knowledge created the stupid mess.
There are no need to "update Firefox" Posted Nov 7, 2007 9:20 UTC (Wed) by tzafrir (subscriber, #11501) [Link] Firefox is free software, minus very small bits. Someone already maintains "Firefox renamed minos some small bits". (G)ubuntu folks won't lend a hand there. The result? Gubuntu who will need Firefox will install it from standard Ubuntu repositories. What impact does this have on Firefox?

Maybe they just wanted a browser that is / can be properly integrated to the Desktop. (At logout there's dialog saying that Firefox doesn't support session management and at re-login & Firefox restart Firefox asks whether I want to restore its session because it thinks it crashed. Mozilla Bugzilla bug about supporting the standard session management is 6 years(!) old. The X session management isn't exactly new technology either... As Firefox already support session management internally, it shouldn't be a large job to make it integrated with desktop too, like every other application in Gnome, KDE etc. And this is not the only issue in Firefox.)
