[arch-general] Firefox 3 on latest update of Don't Panic question

[Nigel Henry]

I'm just about to update one of my 2 instances of Don't Panic. Firefox 3 is 
going to be installed. I'd had problems playing a radio stream from a radio 
station in the Channel Islands using Bon Echo, so downloaded and installed 
another instance of Firefox from the Mozilla site, and installed it 
in /usr/local, where I normally install Firefox. This ran the stream from the 
site ok. I then changed the identity of Bon Echo to Firefox, and this too ran 
the stream ok. The site obviously had some problems with the Bon Echo 
identity.

The question is though. If I go ahead with the upgrade of Firefox/Bon Echo to 
3.0-1, is it still going to play well with the Firefox I installed from the 
Mozilla site (version 2.0.0.12). At the moment they are both happy to share 
the same files in ~/, and both use the same addons.

For info my current Bon Echo version is 2.0.0.14.

I havn't tried Firefox 3 yet, so it may be interesting, but all the same, 
don't want to screw anything up.

Whatever it's like, it can't be as bad as all the complaints I've seen 
regarding KDE4 on the Fedora, and Kubuntu lists. Saying that though, new 
stuff always gets a lot of feedback, both positive, and negative.

Nigel.
