More importantly, the version of IceCat we are using is almost a year
old, with no security updates applied during that time.

We should update to IceCat 31, which is currently available only from
Trisquel, here:

  
http://devel.trisquel.info/icecat/belenos/pool/main/i/icecat/icecat_31.0+gnu3.tar.gz

We also need security updates applied, notably the recent NSS signature
verification flaw: (CVE-2014-1568)

  http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/736
  https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2014/mfsa2014-73.html

There may be other security patches as well.  I suggest looking on
mozilla.org for patches to version 31.
