We've seen the Firefox issue come up a number of times already. Of
course Erik's answer is absolutely correct, but I'm wondering what (if
any) negative effects there might be in installing the Firefox right
from mozilla.org in /home/user/bin?

This is what I've always done on other distros that don't have Firefox
in their own repository. Is it an issue to have two executables with
the same name, even if you keep /home/user/bin out of your path? (ie.
the only way to launch it is with a launcher.)

Thoughts? Comments? Is this a reasonably safe workaround until we
start playing with Hoary?

Thanks!
