Perhaps we should stop using directory names containing version numbers? Firefox e.g. always installs into the same directory (on Windows it's "program files\Mozilla Firefox"). What's the point in keeping the version numbers in the directory names? Would be interesting to ask the Firefox developers if they experienced any user problems or complaints.

In alignment with my idea from above and also as a clearer approach: can we find a way to disable/deinstall language packs?
