Hi,
I think it's a better idea to keep all the Mozilla-based products'
profiles in the same predictable place. Thunderbird, Tor Browser
Bundle, etc.
BTW, any new info on the v45 security issues vs the cookie prompt?
Were we going to backport the security updates to v38, or move
forward to v45 like TBB has, possibly including one of the add-ons
Mozilla recommended?
Personally I can't imagine using a cookie prompt for each site (plus
every banner ad and invisible GIF?) and always found it better to
clean cookies on shutdown, and have done so pretty much all my life.
I wouldn't mind sacrificing such a feature in exchange for fixing
security issues now and more easily in the future.

Hello,
I'm impressed with the new GNU IceCat maintained by Ruben.
However, I would love to see the profiles stored under

instead of the current path .mozilla/icecat/.
Is there a technical reason why this shouldn't be possible? I'm
thinking
maybe backward compatibility?
Please let me know.

Hi,
Thank you, wasn't aware, never used Debian. But wasn't the idea of
~/.mozilla linked to the infrastructure (profiles, browser headers)
rather than the trademark?

Similarly, GNU has decided to put IceCat in a directory called icecat
(instead of firefox). However, this is a half-measure since icecat is in
the parent directory .mozilla.
To summarize, we already have:
~/.thunderbird -> ~/.icedove
~/.mozilla/firefox -> ~/.mozilla/icecat
The proposal is to go all the way and make:
~/.mozilla/icecat -> ~/.gnuzilla/icecat
Thanks,
Tiberiu

There are GNU/Linux distributions that allow to install Mozilla Firefox
AND Gnuzilla Icecat as different applications. This scenario makes sense
to have different paths for user's profile, same as makes sense to have
different paths for software in the system.
