I agree. I think I just brought this up on this mailing list a few days
ago :)

So you would have a different package that has:
WITH_BROWSER=		MozillaFirebird
??

(Or how will binary packages be provided?)

But should work with any browser that uses same netscape-style plugins
(like navigator, konqueror, and opera) and built for same operating system
and architecture too.

I think it would be better if was installed to one location and then use
symlinks for each browser. So you don't have to install multiple times for
each browser.

Thanks for looking at this problem.
