Free addons for IceCat
Warning: this page has been deprecated in favor of two pages in the Free Software Directory: GNU IceCat's own entry and the IceCat extensions project page. If you are looking for free GNU IceCat addons, please visit those pages.
The http://addons.mozilla.org website, hosted on Mozilla servers, offers many addons to extend FireFox with additional features. The majority of these addons are not developed directly by Mozilla but by third party developers.
Many of these addons don't explicitly define a license, even if the original author thought it was unnecessary, so they can't be considered Free Software. Because of this issue, the GNU IceCat browser can't advise users to install and use them, in general. Below is the list of addons that we have checked to be Free.
We have not checked all addons present on the Mozilla web site. If you have looked at any other addon and found that it is explicitly released under a free software license, please contact us, specifying the addon license and the URL where it can be downloaded (better if providing a patch against the current version). Then we will update this page.
We do not want to list add-ons that are only helpers for "Software as a Service." That means the add-on sends your data to someone else's server, which does a computation on your data and sends you back the results. If you see an add-on in this list which appears to be just a front-end for Software as a Service, please report it to bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org.
If your favorite addon does not specify any license, please consider contacting the addon author about this issue. Please let us know if you do this.
