this is an update?? Why did they steal Firefox?

so a couple of hours ago ...

:/$ sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

The following packages will be REMOVED:
firefox-3.0

and there it was, gone. Won't reinstall because something or other is "broke"
had to grap FF2, and luckily had my bookmarks stashed elsewhere ...

and why

I felt the same way when they forced ff3 on me. We're in beta test and mebbe they are shifting ff3b4 to ff3b5 which is out there.

This must be true - when I reinstalled ff3 it was the b5 version.

Perhaps you can save me sometime, did they fix ff3b5 so that one can zoom sites and enlarge fonts without blacking out the .jpg pictures on the site? I have to have zooming or larger font to read without squinting. I'm using seamonkey until ff3 can be adjusted.

Hallelujah, Firefox 3 b5 can zoom and use large fonts. I can see again!
