>Description:
	The firefox-bin and firefox-gtk2-bin packages are out of date.
	This might not be so serious by itself, but there are security
	advisories out against both packages.  Furthermore, as far as
	I know those are the only browsers for NetBSD for which one can
	obtain a 'flash' plug-i.
>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc
	cvs -q update -P -d
	cd www/firefox-bin
	make install
>Fix:
	package up a newer version of firefox
