Similar story to Iceweasel (note the lower-case w!) and Firefox. (Going from memory here - so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.) Once apon a time there was Netscape suite - which became Mozilla suite (a pyrrhic victory!).... which became Seamonkey - due to restrictions placed on it by the Mozilla Corporation, Debian produced the Iceape version. That's a little of the history. Differences:- logos, icons, names etc - plus Iceape is slightly more configurable (user-agent etc.) and security patches to older versions are unaffected by Mozilla freezes. Functionality:- slightly more with Iceape - but I haven't noticed any difference in performance. Now - IceWeasel and Iceweasel are/were not the same thing.... but that's another story.
