Still think this thread should not be in hackers, however I am ccing
because maybe someone is going to look archives for the same question
(hope this does not annoy anyone ;-). Plus I think this mail is going to
terminate this thread.
Yes, deinstall your current firefox.
Yes, there is a special port for linux firefox:
http://www.freshports.org/www/linux-firefox/. You will find at that URL
how to install it.
Further questions just write me... not the list.
Saludos,
B.
