Hi,

60.7.0esr (64-bit) - Linux Mint

I hope this is the right address to highlight these issues.

(1) The default DuckDuckGo search engine entry seems to be malfunctioning; it doesn't carry out searches, instead leading to https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/ in a new tab.

(1a) The Find more search engines link beneath the typical input list of known search engines along with action buttons appears broken, pointing to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/.

(2) On about:addons, the Get Add-ons tab refers to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Gnuzilla as the source for compatible extensions; however, most accessible via https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ also work without issue.

(3) The soft button IceCat Support in Preferences points to this link: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:IceCat/preferences, which seems to be incomplete or incorrect.

Thanks,
Will

as i suggested on the previous thread, you should use icecat v68
instead - icecat v60 is past end-of-life - i think it is safe to
say that it is not supported; and the link to it should be
removed from the website

there are pre-made packages available for fedora (will likely
work on other RPM-based distros), parabola (will likely work on
other arch-based distros), and guix (will likely work on any
other distro)
