Description Nikos Parafestas 2023-05-18 08:25:28 UTC
Thank you for packaging icecat in fedora and for giving users more freedom.
Currently icecat has a mandatory dependency called "fedora-bookmarks". I believe that the bookmarks this package provides doesn't comply with the spirit of GNU Icecat nor with the target audience of this browser.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Install icecat without fedora-bookmarks and have the browser's default look and feel.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
