[AuckLUG] Warning : Dont update Firefox

[Morgan Varaine]

Hi Ronald!

It seems you forgot to mention release numbers with your message... So
I am left slighlty in the dark regarding which latest version you are
talking about. Do you mean 1.5.0.7? or do you mean 2.0 RC2? if you
mean 1.5.0.7, well, for me it works under wind-blows, os x (10.4.8),
and linux (of the ubuntu flavour, ymmv though)...

Cheers.
Morgan
