it is not normal and considered a bug. Should you worry - see that is hard to |
| 39 |
answer - in most cases I have met, it is save to remove the already installed |
| 40 |
files, because the following app is providing exactly the same stuff. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
But sometimes that breaks. In your case - I would move the two files into a |
| 43 |
backup dir in /root or somewhere else far away and save and retry. If |
| 44 |
everything works as expected (firefox is working, nothing is especially crashy) |
| 45 |
you can remove them. |

-bin is already compiled. It is a binary package just like mozilla is |
| 52 |
distributing them. Advantage: instant joy. Disadvantage: sometimes slower, |
| 53 |
sometimes depending on stuff you really don't want to install. |
