Makes sense - it's not a show stopper. I wasn't aware of the packaging problems.

Is this recent? I used to check regularly and eventually used the firefox installer at the mozilla site. It found my mozilla bookmarks okay but not the flash or java plugins.  I reinstalled flash but haven't yet had a great enough need to reinstall java and risk breaking something in doing so. Will the version in the repository find the original flash and java plugins or is that one of the packaging issues?

Thanks.
