ICEWEASEL(1)

NAME
iceweasel - a Web browser for X11 derived from the Mozilla browser

SYNOPSIS
iceweasel [OPTIONS] [URL] /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin [OPTIONS] [URL]

DESCRIPTION
Iceweasel is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability.

USAGE
iceweasel is a simple shell script that will set up the environment for the actual executable, firefox-bin. If there is an Iceweasel browser already running, iceweasel will arrange for it to create a new browser window; otherwise it will start the Iceweasel application.
