Uhh, no. Since 1.0 Firefox has just been called FireFox. Opening the disk image
and dragging the program to your Applications folder asks you if you want to
replace the older version.<
Hmm... I don't recall that happening when I went from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 on another
computer. Maybe I slightly changed the original app name or added a version
ext. prior to the upgrade that time. This time on my home machine it went as
you described, although you still get two Firefox icons in the Dock. (" Poof "
Now just one).
My main point is would it kill Firefox to add a line or two of instruction for
clarity? And I don't think having a message come up that asks more
specifically, "Do you want to replace v 1.x.x with v. 1.x.x?" would be too
difficult to accomplish. I was always impressed with apps that had
"intelligent" installers. But with al later OS X versions third party app
installs seem to mostly be drag and drop.
In this day and age when other parties want to have control over MY computer
and know everything they can about MY usage, I want to know what their app is
putting in my system, where it's going and what it is doing.
