Deer Park is the codename for Firefox 1.5 while it was in development. |

on the forums, the reason that Firefox you install under Gentoo is not |
| 23 |
allowed to be called "Firefox" is that only official builds from |
| 24 |
Mozilla.org may use the --official_branding configuration flag that |
| 25 |
names the titlebars and whatnot. Builds you (or the dev team) built from |
| 26 |
source are not official, so therefore may not use this ./configure flag. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
However, you are free to copy the ebuild to your overlay, add the flag |
| 29 |
to the ebuild, and then recompile it. |

Instructions can be found in the thread. |

As far as I know, the application built is the final, but it appears |
| 34 |
that the release was released early since rc3 was so stable. Maybe a few |
| 35 |
typos slipped through. I certainly don't remember seeing such a message |
| 36 |
when I started Firefox 1.5 for the first time, but maybe that's because |
| 37 |
it was an upgrade or something. |
