RE: RE: Shiretoko or Firefox?

Also, you'll be set on the "beta" channel, so you'll get any updates to 3.5
a week or two before they're released to the general public.

See the somewhat cryptic notes in "Configuring Software Update" near the
bottom of http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update

Subject: [teknoids] RE: Shiretoko or Firefox?

Answering, in part at least, my own question. Right after I posted, I
tried opening Facebook chat in Shiretoko 3.5. Instead of the customary
chat box, a separate window opened with an apparently functional chat
interface, but also with an "old browser" nag and a "Switch to Firefox"
link. So there are obvious browser-recognition issues.

Relatively new, as I am, to Linux (Ubuntu) as a desktop environment...

When I wanted to upgrade my Firefox to 3.5 a couple days ago, I took the
route of installing the Shiretoko 3.5 build instead of Firefox itself. Are
there any distinct advantages or disadvantages to staying on this upgrade
path?

TIA,

Paul
