Firefox "a simple webbrowser"? You're joking, I hope...
I was pointing at the discussion some years ago between MS and the EC that Internet Explorer could not be removed from the operating system :)
I didn't get this one, sorry =)
I also didn't want to come here just to whine my system has to be fixed because of this, but only because someone in this thread said the problem was caused by combining the testing and other repo's. But I don't recall any warning that pacman in some (rare) cases doesn't handle all dependencies...
Well... there's no perfect solution, as I said. Proper dependency versioning really takes a lot of time, and is often hard to do if not specified by upstream developers, so a full -Syu has always been suggested. Also, the beginner's guide clearly states to fix things once in a while, because they tend to break ;-) Anyway, I wasn't attacking you, I hope it's clear :)
