IceCat is “the GNU version of the Firefox browser.” Basically, the GNU guys took Mozilla’s code, and compiled it without using the “proprietary” parts, meaning the Logo and the name, among other things..."

Missing instructions
For those who went through the process (I just did, but there's no documentation):
wget http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/icecat-2.0.0.13-g1-i386.tar.bz
Now run run-icecat.sh to create a profile
exit icecat
cp -r ~/.mozilla/firefox/* ~/.gnuzilla/icecat/
done! Nice one.

Another howto
debian:/# cd /tmp
debian:/# wget http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/icecat-2.0.0.13-g1-i386.tar.bz2
debian:/# cd /opt
tar -jxvf /tmp/icecat*bz2
do NOT do this :)
debian:/# cd /opt/icecat*
debian:/# rm -R plugins
debian:/# ln -s /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins /opt/firefox
debian:/# ln -sf /opt/icecat*/icecat /usr/bin/icecat
debian:/# ln -sf /opt/icecat*/icecat /usr/bin/gnuzilla-icecat
debian:/# ln -sf /opt/icecat*/icecat /usr/bin/gnuzilla
Now, to create your profile:
debian:/# icecat --profileManager
exit icecat
wget http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/icecat.png
then:
cp /your/home/path/images/icecat/icecat.png /usr/share/pixmaps/
chown you:root -R /usr/share/pixmaps/icecat*
For Gnome users:
