Hi John, I respect your opinion as I've read your posts over the years, however; In my opinion Firefox updates are more than mere hyperactivity and are as useful as much as antivirus updates. <shrug> In a normal laptop/workstation GUI environment few applications are as important as a web browser (especially these days). A web worker for example relies on a web browser pretty heavily. Not everyone using Debian is using it on a server, you know. ;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
