IceWeasel

I doubt PortableApps would ever get in trouble for using Firefox's artwork (since it's using the name, too) -- but just in case it might be nice to have this option as well.

"IceWeasel is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one: it is entirely free software. While the source code from the Mozilla project is free software, the binaries that they release include additional non-free software. Also, they distribute non-free software as plug-ins. (IceWeasel does keep the triple licensing used by Firefox to facilitate the reuse of code.)"

Linux Only / License

IceWeasel is Linux-only. And I have an agreement with Mozilla to be able to use their trademarks.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Exactly

I don't think some people understand that you have an agreement.
Especially the ones who want to modify and redistribute FFP.

I didn't realize either of those things -- both are good to know.
