I'm just a bit confused about your comment about Firefox's internal 
update mechanism not being useful. I thought it would be tremendously 
useful to a typical user... but disabled by choice in the Fedora-built 
Firefox. I'm in the dark, enlighten me?

I've built Firefox in the past but I don't think it's a productive hobby 
:) It's so much nicer to have the distro or Mozilla do the hard work. 
Then it's a choice of whether Mozilla or Fedora do it better. I thought 
a typical user might prefer the updates from Mozilla. So I'm not trying 
to devalue package management at the application level, but wondering if 
you could make an exception for applications if they do a good job of 
managing their own updates _including updates to third party stuff that 
Fedora will never support_.
