This 0.9.3 package works fine on my machine.  But there are a few
small things I prefer in version 0.10.1 that are not in 0.9.3, and I
have already upgraded to 0.10.1  on all my non-Ubuntu machines that I
regularly uses.   So if Ubuntu official rolls back Firefox to 0.9.3
for the final version of Warty, I'll most probably maintain my own
copy of Firefox  0.10.1 (and higher) in my /usr/local directory.  It's
a bit more work for me, but I prefer this to "downgrading" myself to
0.9.3.

The only problem I have had with Ubuntu's 0.10.1 was Bug #1676,  but
it doesn't seem to be present in the binary package downloaded
directly from Mozilla.
