Shiretoko or Firefox?

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

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.
