Having 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 working side by side is an important aspect - consider if you are a web developer who needs to test sites in multiple browsers. It's a bonus to have the different versions working side-by-side. We don't really want to duplicate the IE debacle of having to have a virtual machine per version of IE (to get testing results exactly right).
The real problem here is the naming, I don't see any benefit to an end user in calling Firefox 3.5 "Shiretoko" - a name that has little linkage to Firefox except for the advanced user. Shiretoko is still called "Preview Browser - Shiretoko Web Browser" in Kickoff (KDE), not sure what it is called in Gnome but I assume it takes the text from "/usr/share/applications/firefox-3.5.desktop". Typing "Fire" into Krunnner only brings up "Firefox 2 web browser" and "Firefox Web Browser" - no sign of the Firefox I use every day. Finally, I don't really want to edit a file that will get overwritten in the next update or fiddle with about:config - not really user friendly solutions. All this name change does is confuse end users. Why not just call it "Firefox 3.5", use the same icon and reduce the confusion to nil? -- Usability: Rename Shiretoko to firefox 3.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
