Apparently being "just an old version of Firefox" is its main point. That's why people use it, right, Juanito?

If I understand correctly, the point is that icecat is fully foss, whereas firefox is mostly foss, but otherwise they are identical.

I believe that the firefox_getLatest extension will fetch any version of firefox, therefore instead of compiling icecat-60.7.0 (the most recent), you can download a pre-compiled firefox-60.7.0.

..or you can use firefox-ESR (78.1.0) extension compiled on CorePure64, which uses alsa rather than pulseaudio.
