[Bug 766559] Re: Forcing installation of firefox

[Stéphane Graber]

Looking at this, I'm not even sure why we'd depend on a web browser at all.
Shouldn't it be done in a similar way as for flashplugin-installer where the web browsers are suggests instead of recommends/depends?

Title:
  Forcing installation of firefox

Status in “icedtea-web” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  icedtea-plugin 1.1~20110406-0ubuntu2 have a strict and exclusive
  depends on only 1 browser : firefox. But the plugin works also with
  Chromium, without the need of firefox package.

  Please add some alternative to firefox depends in debian/rules (line
  72 : xulrunner_depends = firefox (>= 4.0~b7) | chromium-browser |
  other_browser ....)
