[ale] Q: upgrading to latest Firefox on FC3?

[Scott Castaline]

I've been just downloading the file from mozilla and then as root
unpacking into /opt/firefox. Update my links and run the new firefoxas
reg. user. It keeps most of the original setting, you may have trouble
with different themes, extensions, & plugins. They may need updates or
not used until one is available.
