There are advantages to both, really, since firefox-bin uses a |
| 7 |
pre-built executable (with a pre-defined set of compile-time options), |
| 8 |
while firefox builds from source, using the options defined by the |
| 9 |
list of applicable USE flags. The tradeoff is time, heat, and |
| 10 |
electricity in return for more options in what is (or isn't) included |
| 11 |
and enabled. |
