5 That is how I found FF2, and why I initially switched to Galeon. But
6 when Firefox-3.0-r2 came out I gave FF another try, and I don't regret
7 it at all. FF3 is a vast improvement over FF2 for me, it's quicker, more
8 robust, takes up less memory, and the UI is a lot nicer. FF2 used to
9 memory leak like an old man with diareah, but no problems with FF3.

11 And I'm talking about the mozilla-firefox package, not -bin. For -bin I
12 have 2.0.0.14 installed in case I ever need to use FF2 for something...I
13 don't know what I would use it for but it can't hurt to have it.
