GNU

The vanilla icecat/gnuzilla:

In GNU Guix <https://gnu.org/s/guix> we keep our IceCat package up-to-date by promptly running the 'makeicecat' script on the latest Firefox ESR release whenever Mozilla issues security updates. We had to abandon use of the IceCat-provided source tarballs for the reason you mention.

You could use the IceCat from Guix, or you could run the 'makeicecat' script yourself to produce an up-to-date IceCat source tarball from the corresponding Firefox ESR source tarball. You can find 'makeicecat' in the Gnuzilla git repository, here:

 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git
