This is a rather strange release that's being called "final".

* What is the reason that branding isn't included in the version in the repo?  The novice user doesn't recognize and trust "Shiretoko".  They were looking for "Firefox".
* Why doesn't Firefox 3.5 replace Firefox 3.0?

There are also some bugs in this version of "Shiretoko":

* The Google search bar icon doesn't appear updated as in the version from the official Mozilla site.
* The default theme's version still reads as 3.0.11

Checking "/usr/lib/firefox-3.5" confirms that the "extensions",
"plugins", and "searchplugins" sub-directories are linked from "/usr/lib
/firefox-addons", a location shared with Firefox 3.0.  Given that both
3.0 and 3.5 are being made to co-exist, they should not be sharing these
addons folders.

I've attached a screenshot of the
