Ugh. I prefer the Iceweasel route. I like having it on the install CDs.
By the way, one thing I don't understand is why Ubuntu still uses the
Firefox logo and branding, especially regarding Mike Connor's comment
that
I have actually been asked recently by another distro
maintainer whether everyone is on a fair playing field. Right now, it
seems to others as if Debian has a special deal, which isn't fair, and
it needs to change.
regarding why Debian was still using the Firefox name. Now it seems to
me that Ubuntu has that special deal. Whenever I ask about, it seems
that nobody knows, and makes me think that Shuttleworth must have
signed off some secret deal with Mozilla in order to be allowed to
keep using the logo and name, even though their Firefox is even more
heavily modified than Debian's!
Please correct me if I'm wrong about these observations.
