To put it differently, it=E2=80=99s not Guix=E2=80=99s missing to maintain a fork = of Firefox (or any other package). > (define-public firefox > (package > (name "firefox") > (version "45.2.0esr") What is the goal here? Guix proper can provide IceCat (which modifies Firefox to comply with trademark rules, to comply with the GNU FSDG=C2=B9, and to enhance privacy), maybe Tor Browser (assuming it complies with the FSDG as well), but not stock Firefox (unless the trademark issue and FSDG violations are resolved.) Besides, I think it should be possible to (inherit icecat) rather than duplicate all the recipe. Hope this clarifies things!
