No, I don't think so at all. Gecko is an HTML rederer. Firefox is a web 
browser. Those are very different beasts. Firefox is a lot bigger than 
Gecko, it has a lot more bugs, and I don't want to be updating it just 
because I use a different Gecko-based browser.

Gecko should be a separate package?

Is that a personal attack? That's against the Code of Conduct.

That's a very sad attitude. If everyone else had that attitude we'd 
still be in the stone age.
