Help----

IceCat does not work on Windows---

There is currently an issue where new installations of IceCat will appear to not run, or instantly crash on Windows.

The current work-around for this issue to adjust the hardware acceleration options of IceCat.

To do so:

We need to open Command Prompt. (The basic system search can find it as either command prompt, or cmd.exe)

Now to path to where IceCat is extracted. Type cd place\icecat\is\extracted\ (Example, cd Users\username\Downloads\icecat\)

Type icecat --safe-mode

Select run in safe mode

Enter about:config into the address bar

Search for gfx.direct2d.disabled

Set it to true

IceCat should now no longer crash on run.
