No doubt this is the reason for your issues.
Incorrectly (interpreted). I had used the distro version since gutsy became available. Then firefox 2.0.0.11 became available, and I simply opted to perform a Help > About Firefox to see what it said. The response was 2.0.0.8. I figured that was odd, so I performed ls -l /usr/bin/firefox, and forget if it showed a binary or symlink to ../lib/.. To verify/quite what the 2.0.0.11 firefox really does say in Help > About, I visited mozilla.com, obtained the original, extracted it, placed it in /usr/local/bin/firefox, and redirected /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox. That accurately showed 2.0.0.11 under Help > About. I then completely closed the mozilla.com version, opened the older version, selected Help > About, and, again, got 2.0.0.8.
