My other concern in this is that of using FireFox, as it is not part
of the stable packages yet I am somewhat put off by this. I have a
browser.jar for a kiosk style Firefox...could this be applied to the

seperate thread, to only install certain packages from testing while
keeping the rest of the system on stable?
