I was just about to post this bug, luckily I found it.
$ ls -l /usr/bin/fire* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-04-06 10:25 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-03-26 10:05 /usr/bin/firefox-2 -> ../lib/firefox/firefox-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2008-04-06 10:25 /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 -> ../lib/firefox-3.0b5/firefox.sh
But for some reason, when you type in 'firefox-2' in the command line, Firefox 3.0b5 pops up.
$ firefox-2
It's just the most confusing thing because when I run this:
$ firefox-2 --version Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.13, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org
It says it's version 2!
Here's my Ubuntu and firefox package information. I'm up-to-date as of 2008-04-06 at 11am EST
