1. A tarball install of Firefox-4.0b9 installs as: "firefox", 
yet the startup shell script ./firefox/firefox lists: "firefox-4.0b9"

    moz_libdir=/usr/lib/firefox-4.0b9

Consistency reduces confusion, failures, and costs. For those of us in 
multi-user enterprise environments, managing multiple releases over time, the 
extended nomenclature is preferred. This enables multiple releases to co-exist, 
certainly wise given stability issues of rapid releases.


2. The following code block seems problematic. First, it hard-wires an 
assumption that may not be logically consistent with other issues (see Flash 
libssl3.so , et. al., issue) (see secure application installation issue). 
Further the variable definition of moz_libdir may be a paste-on fix to address 
a particular problem. Yet the immediately following code block seems to resolve 
the core program location. Pushing moz_libdir resolution into this blocks seems 
logical.

#uncomment for debugging
#set -x

moz_libdir=/usr/lib/firefox-4.0b9

# Use run-mozilla.sh in the current dir if it exists
# If not, then start resolving symlinks until we find run-mozilla.sh
