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?

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