Firefox is installed similar to Mozilla in that its main installation
directory no longer has a Firefox version number in its name. This will
help maintainers of ports that depend on Firefox stay in sync more
easily.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After installing Firefox, you must su - to root, and run ``firefox'' before
running it as any other user. If you do not su - to root, you may lose some
of your user settings. If you try to run Firefox as a normal user without
first running it as root, the browser will not show up. This is a known issue
with Firefox, and they hope to address it in a future release.
