Hi Ginn,

Thanks for this it worked for me eventually, I was getting an error saying Firefox \
could not update and make sure I didn't have any other version running. I had Firefox \
4.0b installed in my home directory.

What the issue turned out to be was the plugins directory was a symbolic link to \
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins, with this removed I was then able to upgrade successfully.

So this is just a heads up in case anyone else has the same issue.

Thanks for the work to get this out.

PS, Do I need to change the config entry back to the original now that I'm running \
4.0b4?

Cheers, Iain
