Yes, unfortunately the software point of view is different. IIRC firefox
3 is still hanging with soundwrapper and there are annoying lines on
text boxes when using Ia-Ora theme.
We use the same spec file for all the distros, even CS3. That's why I'm
not sure if changing to ff3 is an easy task to do. But I agree that we
should think about how to change to ff3 as soon as we get all the known
major bugs resolved.
Negative reviews are really bad for us, but I believe that shipping a
non working browser is even worse. :)
