Hi all,

Welcome Thomas, Robert, Chris and Ken.

I'll attempt brevity:

The version displayed for a package is gathered from general.ent.
Instructions that refer to that version are then 'hard-coded' in the
command text.  For the Mozilla projects, there are many references.

Firefox installation posibility:

export FFVer=`grep "MOZ_CO_TAG.*=" client.mk \
  | cut -d_ --output-delimiter=. -f4,5,6,7`

in commands place $FFVer where we now substitute &firefox-version.

That way, the instructions would copy and paste for a newer version.
A convenience for the user, and less updating pressure for Editors.

Of course, Firefox 3 is due soon, it should still be doable.
