You are wrong. "Factory" doesn't mean that it is still in the factory
for everyone; factory can also mean that it was produced in a factory
without regard to individuality; mass production.

Considering your constant egotism, you are PLONKED.

In "Zach's" recent reply to me, they state
they're running FF 3.6.8. The "latest 3.6.x"
at Mozilla is 3.6.9, The "latest-electrolysis"
of FF is 4.0b4.

I'm currently running 3.6.8-1.3 of FF and I'm
also running 4.0b-6.2 ... no issues with either.

Just tested both at the ftp site:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest-3.6/linux-i686/en-US
and the website (www.mozilla.com) and both still give 3.6.8
as latest release:

* Download Firefox - Free
3.6.8 for Linux i686
English (US) (9.4MB)

The ftp site only has 4.0b2
