I am happy to announce the new version of the IceCat web browser.

This version is based on the Mozilla Firefox version 12.0.

GNU IceCat 12.0 is available for download here:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/12.0/icecat-12.0.tar.xz

[CHANGES]

* GNU LibreJS is now loaded by default.

* In the same manner as Debian Iceweasel and Trisquel Abrowser, the 
profile directories are now located within the home .mozilla directory, 
under .mozilla/icecat. This addresses the issue with the 
--with-user-appdir option that has been reported multiple times through 
the years.

* Firefox Sync is now disabled by default.

Please report any problem you may experience to the bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org 
mailing list.

Thank you,

Loic Duros
Gnuzilla and IceCat maintainer
