Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Is IceCat 24.0 secure?

In any case,  I now compiled and installed IceCat 24. However, still, the 
question remains how to cleany update to version 27 or whatever newer 
version when it is released. What does a GNU/Linux user have to do in this 
case? Remove the older version and install the new one? Simply install the 
new one over the old one?
