Then execute the following commands:

Have a lot of fun with the new Iceweasel and Icedove.
All the best,

If the pictures have wrong colors, then modify the configuration with about:config. Find the worth image.high_quality_downscaling.enabled and set it to false.

If Iceweasel (Firefox) and Icedove (Thunderbird) have another Font in the menus and dialogue boxes than the desktop environment, then you have to create the file
.fonts.conf in the home directory.
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
If this file exist, then the Firefox use the font configuration from the desktop environment.
