This changes README.md from referring Firefox to referring to IceWeasel, and adds a little information about the new Iceweasel project. For now, a lot of the technical details present in the old and upstream versions of this file are missing, because I didn't feel I had enough understanding of the concepts and technical details to edit them for relevance to this project. My thought is that they could be revised later by someone who understands them better and merged back into this document as part of a future update to the document. This is in some respects a placeholder and a starting point. |

README.md
Iceweasel for Android
Fenix (internal codename) is the all-new IceWeasel for Android browser, based on GeckoView and Mozilla Android Components.
Our goal is to be a close fork of the new Firefox for Android that seeks to provide users with more options, more opportunities to customize (Including a broad extension library), and more information about the pages they visit and how their browsers are interacting with those pages.
In addition, we intend to try to cut down on telemetry and proprietary code to as great of an extent as possible as long as doing so does not compromise the user experience or make the fork too hard to maintain.
Iceweasel combines the power of Fenix (Of which we are a fork) and the spirit of Fennec, with a respectful nod toward the grand tradition of Netscape Navigator, from which all Gecko-based projects came, including the earliest of our predecessors, the old Mozilla Phoenix and Mozilla Firefox desktop browsers.
Iceweasel also honors the spirit of the Debian Iceweasel desktop Firefox forks of 2005, for which we are named.
That said, Iceweasel is an independent all-volunteer project, and has no affiliation with Netscape, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Mozila Phoenix, Debian, Debian Iceweasel, America Online, or Verizon, among others. :) Basically, if you don't like the browser, it's not their fault. :)
Getting Involved
This is an all-volunteer project. No one is getting paid (At least not by the project itself.).
Therefore, everyone should feel free to open issues and pull requests. Join the club!
Developers are especially welcome, wanted, and needed.
I want to open a Pull Request!
We encourage you to participate in this open source project. We love Pull Requests, Bug Reports, ideas, (security) code reviews or any other kind of positive contribution.
I want to file an issue!
Great! We encourage you to participate in this open source project. We love Pull Requests, Bug Reports, ideas, (security) code reviews or any other kind of positive contribution.
To make it easier to triage, we have these issue requirements:
- Please do your best to search for duplicate issues before filing a new issue so we can keep our issue board clean.
- Every issue should have exactly one bug/feature request described in it. Please do not file meta feedback list tickets as it is difficult to parse them and address their individual points.
- Feature Requests are better when they’re open-ended instead of demanding a specific solution -ie “I want an easier way to do X” instead of “add Y”
- Issues are not the place to go off topic or debate.
- While we do not yet have Community Participation Guidelines of our own, we ask that you show respect to everyone and treat others as you would like to be treated.
Please keep in mind that even though a feature you have in mind may seem like a small ask, as a small team, we have to prioritize our planned work and every new feature adds complexity and maintenance and may take up design, research, product, and engineering time. We appreciate everyone’s passion but we will not be able to incorporate every feature request or even fix every bug. That being said, just because we haven't replied, doesn't mean we don't care about the issue, please be patient with our response times as we're very busy.
