Message:

Now that firefox2 is no longer supported upstream, move to firefox3. Thanks to the many people who have contributed to this, particularly to Simon Geard who pointed out that firefox can be used to build xulrunner, and to Jack Stone who helped me understand why the nss nd nspr libs need to be symlinked. All errors, are of course, my own. E&OE.

     36    files for the Gecko engine (and for <application>nss</application> and
     37    <application>nspr</application>) are not installed.  This means that applications
     38    such as <application>Epiphany</application> can no longer be built against firefox,
     39    and must instead be built against xulrunner (which is actually the same code, but
     40    built in a different way).  If you wish to build other packages which use Gecko (for
     41    the moment, probably only gnome-2.24 or later versions will recognize xulrunner),
     42    build <xref linkend="xulrunner"/> first.</para>

     47    for details of what is fixed in newer releases.  The editors cannot guess what
     48    will differ in newer versions: it should be straightforward to upgrade within the
     49    same series (3.0), but it is always possible that newer versions will have increased
     50    dependencies, or that something using the nss or gecko libraries will break.  If you
     51    update, begin by updating <application>xulrunner</application> if you use that, then
     52    update firefox (ensuring the libxul-sdk option points to the new version).</para>
