As a KDE user of Mozilla products since long before its very first v1.0 product (Mozilla Suite) release, I've long since seen any point getting into discussion of the topic of DE integration. It's no more than a pipe dream for KDE users. > If I knew Mozilla's Linux binaries provided its own update mechanism > and notification, yes I would do exactly that. Why would you think it doesn't just because it's Linux and Linux has package managers to shield mere mortals from having to deal with such things when you must know it works for Windows and Mac users? A mechanism for multiple versions of individual Mozilla products to be simultaneously installed (AFAIK) remains absent from distros' package managers. I'm sure most of us testing its pre-releases (and those developing them) or otherwise needing access to non-current versions while using releases for normal affairs long ago learned Mozilla binaries do what they need to do without any need for any supposed DE "integration". That includes updating themselves. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
