Here's another reason why it is important to do more than a quick symbolic link hack - the new firefox 3.0 update package overwrite /usr/bin/firefox on my unexpectedly. The "won't fix" tag is clear but the explanation is far from clear. -- add an alternative to /usr/bin/firefox https://bugs.laun

Asac, I appreciate your work on firefox and I thank you for the information you provided today. I am passing that information along to several user groups who all seem to want FireFox 3.5 NOW, lol. I wish to understand your response to this bug as it seems unclear to me. Right now the choice of
