As I rebooted often I restarted IceCat quite often and about one in two 
it doesn't show (maybe load) the websites. So I gave in the url, hit 
enter but there was nothing beside a white page (just white). I disabled 
all add-ons. If I remember correct there where websites who worked, 
gnu.org definitively doesn't work.

I tried installing from addons.mozilla.org but without success. There 
was an error message.
