Yeah, I've been to mozilla.org a couple times today, but I have tried to avoid installing from a tarball. I'm paranoid enough about installing from 3rd party RPM repos.
Well, okay, but if you trust their product and you trust their source, why wouldn't you trust their official release tarballs? You can always install it as a non-root user and test it out before putting it into /opt (or wherever you prefer) as root.
THANKS for that information. That is an annoyance I've been putting up with for a long time -- and I thought I was the only person having the problem.
If you would like to weigh in on this, it bug # 465788 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/. If I'm not the only one seeing it, that might inspire them to devote more resources to fixing it. Anyone else, feel free to chime in there, too (but only if you ARE seeing the problem, please :-).
