Changes:
- Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an
update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a
megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved.
- Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button
performance.
- Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs.
- Improvements to popup blocking.
- Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove
personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
- Answers.com is added to the search engine list.
- Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages,
redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and "Safe Mode" experience.
- Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and
assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader
for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available
information in applications and documents or show the information on
a Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use
equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.
- Report a broken Web site wizard to report Web sites that are not
working in Firefox.
- Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) including profile
migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer.
- New support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and
JavaScript 1.6.
- Many security enhancements.

There are no firefox gtk1 binary packages for linux any longer, so
no need to keep two different -bin packages around.
This way it also matches the non-bin firefox packages.

Notes:
* NetBSD-native version not available, this can be used only with
MOZILLA_USE_LINUX
* Linux sets MOZ_GTK2, gtk1-compiled version doesn't appear to be available
* Solaris not tested

and Linux versions (define MOZILLA_USE_LINUX to use the Linux version).
both tested on NetBSD-current.

of the box because they need a newer glibc which needs compat_linux
fixes, so just remove it for now instead of pretending it will work.
|
|
Linux tested - there are no NetBSD builds so far and the Linux builds
require glibc-2.3 which isn't in pkgsrc so does not work out of the
box on NetBSD yet.

This is (right now) a Linux binary package.
Mozilla Firebird has been renamed to Firefox, and this package will
obsolete MozillaFirebird when Solaris and NetBSD builds become
available.
