I'll try and fix this next time I update the download page.

We don't officially support and test anything except Firefox (for example, we don't support Seamonkey), but I understand that Iceweasel is exactly the same as FF in every way except branding.

But I'll just expand the UA detection on the download page to allow Iceweasel as well.

When attempting to install google gears with Debian Etch's Iceweasel (a minimally altered version of Firefox, rebranded for licensing reasons) I'm told my browser is unsupported. When I use the Firefox User Agent Switcher and replace "Iceweasel" with "Firefox" in the user agent string, I don't have this problem and am able to install without issue.

Thanks for you help.
