Hi Mark, Firefox needs some newer GTK version than the base packages delivers. So the newer one ist installed under /opt/gtk/ and must be used with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
In the base version of "experimantal" the separate GTK was joined into the base. Please never have two packages with the same name in diffenrent repositories.
