Okay, fair enough. However, I decided against using the Debian
packages since they are at least 25% or so larger than the Mozilla.org
tarballs which is a consideration on a dial-up line. I would have
thought that, if anything, the debs would have been smaller due to
dynamic linking to GTK 2.4. Maybe my assumption that the Mozilla.org
builds are statically linked is incorrect.
