AFAIK, both Iceweasel and Icecat are forks of Firefox. Firefox is the upstream.
Shouldn't we post patches to upstream?

I am afraid the notation "Mozilla patch" does not make much sense, as the patch
should just apply to Iceweasal and Icecat as well.

I understand that gnewsense strives to produce a 100% free distro. But the patch
I provided has nothing to do with those "non free plugins".

And FYI, in xulrunner 1.9.1, the O32 patch is already included in upstream. If
you think that's what you don't want, you could just go ahead to strip it out.
And find someone else to write a patch which REALLY has nothing to do with those
"non free plugins".

Thanks.
