Firefox RC2 Install Script

[avihappy]

I made a small install script for firefox RC2. It is a modified version of Visvak's script here.
Enjoy. PS i did not know where to put this thread, move if needed !
Note: you make need to give it executable ability.

I DONT KNOW HOW UPDATING WILL BE AFFECTED

If you can make an uninstall script, please do so.

UNINSTALL SCRIPT BELOW

DO NOT DOWNLOAD, SECURITY RISK YOU CANNOT UPDATE

Awesome script, but I don't think I like the new Firefox...

• The new UI is much slower and less responsive on my 1.4 GHz machine.
• The new UI might look good on a Vista or KDE system, but with a warm theme like Gillouche or Human, it looks horribly out of place. Same goes for the icons. What was wrong with the beautiful Tango-ish icons we had in the old version (in fact, Tango was inspired by them)?
• The new 'close tab' icon wastes space and makes it incredibly easy to close tabs by mistake. What was wrong with middle click? Who has a two-button mouse these days? And even if you do, just click both buttons at once!

Seems like they're copying Opera and IE when it comes to the UI, and I don't like it in the least bit. IceWeasel is where my hopes lie

Boo hoo, seg fault.

gamera@sakura:~/temp$ firefox
