Frequent? Not that bad. You just install the package from your package
manager and forget about it.
Why maintain a separate FireFox installation?
Actually it's some annoyance I noticed last week - Firefox just came
out with 1.5.0.7 and normally when I used a "privately installed"
package it would just pick such updates automatically but since I
started using Debian Etch's package it doesn't pick up the update and
still stays at 1.5.0.6. The "Help->Check for Updates" option is
disabled (maybe I should run it as root to enable it?).
I suppose that a private 1.5.0.7 should be considered more secure than
a debian-maintained 1.5.0.6 but here we are - either install my own
private Firefox from mozilla.org or wait for Debian to update its
package.

The proper extension, once set up, will help even a non-technical
user...
e.g. the Haaretz and Ynet must-have extensions, SessionSaver (made
pretty obsolete by FF 2) and others which the user doesn't have to do
anything in order to take advantage of.
PS - FF2's spell checker is a godsend.
