Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat 45 IMPORTANT consideration: Keep cookie prompt "ask me every time"

[awakeyet]

Do you see the agenda here? we are being attacked by shills. this is why there is suddenly so much (((((((((politics))))))))) here. they do not approve of GNU icecat. just like ((((((they))))) do not approve of GMO labeling, or laws that protect the second amendment, or anything that upholds the freedoms of this crumbling country. why was a hero like edward snowden hunted like an animal? ask yourself who benefits from the failure of GNU icecat. ask yourself why system-d was created and forced into ALL linux out of nowhere for no reason, just as people switched over to run from windows 10, soylent green edition?
