firefox will launch Firefox 3.0


firefox-3.5 will launch Firefox 3.5 (but it may be called Shiretoko)

thanks for the tip, i would have never figured that one out. i even ran firefox w/ the "gksudo firefox &" command and it was still stuck in 3.0.13.
i added the Shiretoko icon to the panel, renamed it Firefox 3.5 and changed the icon so its like it used to be.
