extra programs e.g. liferea that piggy-back on firefox continually need
to update to track the firefox install location, it's a pain in the ass
for it to change every micro install. At least we don't change on every
micro, but change on the medium. 

Of course distro's have to change the /opt of the default install to
somewhere else as it's not an /opt package when it comes with the OS
from a distro, so it's not really going to be a standard location
anyway, so it doesn't affect us too much what it gets called.
