It has become apparent to us that MafiaaFire Redirector --an extension 
for Mozilla-based browsers-- is released under a nonfree license. This 
extension has shipped with IceCat since version 4.0.1.  The license of 
this extension is available from the official Mozilla Add-ons site: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mafiaafire-redirector/license/0.9d

Because IceCat cannot ship with nonfree software, this extension has 
been removed from all versions of IceCat since 4.0.1. New packages have 
been uploaded to ftp.gnu.org, and the original files have been removed. 
We urge you to download these new versions and use them instead.

The versions of IceCat from which MafiaaFire Redirector has been removed 
are the following:

* IceCat 10.0: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/10.0/
* IceCat 9.0.1: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/9.0.1/
* IceCat 7.0.1: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/7.0.1/
* IceCat 7.0: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/7.0/
* IceCat 6.0.2: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/6.0.2/
* IceCat 6.0.1: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/6.0.1/
* IceCat 5.0.1: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/5.0.1/
* IceCat 5.0: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/5.0/
* IceCat 4.0.1: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/4.0.1/

Thank you,

GNU IceCat maintainer
