Is there a particular reason you don't want to do that? Possibly because it's not marked stable? After your post I looked at emerging it on my amd64 machine but it requires that I start emerging other testing packages so I decided why bother? I'll wait. - Mark

Because these rapid updates to firefox are all security patches it would be nice to get the latest one... Yeah, I agree. I wanted 3.0.12 also as 3.0.11 apparently has a security bug but I felt like 3.5 was probably a jump to big. Cheers, Mark

But I do enable a few security patches early by keywording the specific build before it gets moved to stable. Right now I'm using Opera temporarily. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
