derivative, like CentOS), they provided version 1.xx of Firefox and when
1.5 final became available, firefox was updated to 1.5 with no problems.

I suppose something similar could happen here, provide the stable
firefox 2.0.0.14 and when version 3.0 final became available they could
provide an update to it.

I do not agree with this view. When something is Beta, it is Beta.


In any case, I would like to see if anyone has/had any troubles with
Firefox 3 Beta 5 on Ubuntu 8.04 final.
