Iceweasel and Icedove
After Debian and Mozilla settled their dispute on distributing Mozilla's apps, Iceweasel and Icedove will be shipped as Firefox and Thunderbird, starting with the next ESR (
Extended Support Release) update cycle.
The current version of
VidyoDesktop as distributed by Cern starts on Jessie but crashes when joining a conference.
