Which one seems better? It's the same thing. See wikipedia. Basically, you are not allowed to re-compile the source code and still call it Firefox for trademark reasons.
Ice isn't fire, and weasels aren't foxes, but IceWeasels and Firefoxen are the same thing. Apparently it's IceCat now. Also be on the lookout for Icedove, Iceape, and Iceowl. Debian refused to use Firefox's logo because it is not free as in speech, not as in beer , and in turn Mozilla said that they can't call it Firefox if they're going to use their own non-Mozilla-approved logo, so they called it IceWeasel.
There is no difference it is basically just a different name due to trademark issues - see the origins of the dispute. Its a personal choice. If u need stability and not concerned about new features then Iceweasel is the choice. If not, U may use Firefox. Reportedly, Iceweasel and other variants generally are behind in versions compared to Firefox. That's a red flag for me. I tried to use Iceweasel to log into my credit union.
Finally, it loaded--it took several minutes, even, though. I proved surprised when it actually succeeded. Possibly a better solution exists: Some time ago, someone wrote some scripts to induce more accurately, to "deceive" problem sites into "believing" that Iceweasel actually is from XP!
It required changing to an enabled user--"on the fly"--just for such special situations! I'd like to use Iceweasel: It must be kept up to date, though--otherwise, I just can't trust it. I believe that it lacks integrity: Recently, I couldn't kill the browser and also couldn't log out cleanly, either: I had to reset. FF likely would have performed better.
A similar situation exists with clamtk--the current version of clamtk must be downloaded separately, from sourceforge. That's easy enough: But, why?! That's another issue, of course I'm thus going to mozilla. I'll keep Iceweasel on, though: After all, it's the distro's official browser.
I desire for it to succeed better. Really, though, petty squabbling over logos, branding, and idiot legal manueuvering is just slapping the faces of so many who benefit the community so greatly! Fiefdoms:They weaken a community greatly and tarnish its ideals.
Unfortunately, these great "code-wizards" merely are human and actually prove to be from earth, after all! Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
