By the way: Maybe a "hard" change, which means switching completely to Iceweasel is really *too* hard and needs more resources as I thought. But could it be possible to package a RPM for Iceweasel and let it go to factory as an *alternative* browser? I will try to do it on my own (the package) as soon as I can, but my packaging knowledge is very very limited, so is this possible?
We need to clarify some facts. Iceweasel is Debian's name for Firefox because they don't want to or are not allowed to call it Firefox. If they currently have Firefox 3.6 shipped under the name Iceweasel (I don't now, as Lenny still has 3.5 afaik), then it's not really anything more than Firefox 3.6. You can have Firefox 3.6 on openSUSE immediately by installing it from the mozilla repo and will get updates at least as long as there are any from mozilla.org. If you want to have Firefox 3.6 in Factory then we need to do some ugly changes to not interfere with a possible Firefox version (for example using the same profile directory). It's still doable but before adding something like that to Factory there should be some confidence that we get security updates somehow even after 3.6.19.
