Why do apps like Firefox install to /opt?
I was under the impression that /opt was for large, closed source apps (games, etc). Every other distro I've used installs apps like Mozilla and Firefox to /usr or /usr/bin, why does Arch put them in /opt?

Re: Why do apps like Firefox install to /opt?
I've noticed that arch installs programs that don't care much about the prefix such as firefox and openoffice in /opt.
These programs should not be directly installed in /usr
The proper option is /usr/lib for example /usr/lib/firefox and /usr/lib/openoffice

Re: Why do apps like Firefox install to /opt?
i think this is a good idea. better installing standalone apps in one directory in /opt than scattered around in /usr/. this is confusing and more work.

Re: Why do apps like Firefox install to /opt?
It shouldn't matter to most whether it's in /opt or /usr, as long as the binary is in their $PATH. And that's probably the best reason to keep it in /usr then, because it will already be in their $PATH before install.
Arch has already moved in that direction in regard to xfce4 and gnome, I believe. It's a shame that others like firefox and OOo haven't moved yet.

I agree, only precompiled binaries should be in /opt.

I guess this is the best explanation. Well, for me it has never bothered me cause I've had no app fail building because of this nor any app behave weird because of this. But yeah, Arch is weird, I find sometimes devs makes decision just because they feel like doing it, and well there is no problem with me, at least until it does not mess my system.

I think we're missing some general concepts here: That is the whole concept, "Linux" follows, to have a certain file system structure and to install applications into it. Rather than installing program by program in seperate directories. The latter is complete bullshit that maybe some OS that do not have a structure at all (like Windoze) need due to their lack of structure - sacrificing interchangability of shared objects.
I guess for programs like firefox, thunderbird or open office it doesn't really matter much because they don't really provide libs for other programs. I do agree that Arch stores too much into /opt, as I wrote in the thread the downsides of Arch?.
But KDE and Gnome? These pretty much live on shared libraries. And why would Gnome (now) be in /usr and KDE is stuck in /opt? What's the reasoning behind that inconsistency?
Anyhow, yeah, there are some things about Arch that I don't agree with or don't understand but hey, that's half the fun! :>

If my long term memory isn't kidding me Slakware (I used slakware long time ago) does so also. Which doesn't make it any better.

the documented --prefix for OpenOffice is not recognized though used in the official PKGBUILD. If you find a solution how to set the wanted prefix /usr please tell me.

Re: Why do apps like Firefox install to /opt?
I was under the impression that if any program broke the FHS (file hierachy system) it was placed in /opt. Subsequently as the programs adhere to the FHS and as time permits the devs move it over to /usr

What? Nope, Slackware installes firefox under /usr/lib and linkes the binaries to /usr/bin (and has done that for as long as I remember (ever since phoenix) 
).
I doubt that anyone (including the File Hierarchy Standard - ppl) know what /opt really is meant for. I think that's where the main problem is.
iirc the debate about what should be placed in /opt is there ever since /opt was introduced because it wasn't really "defined" - only said it is for "optional packages - whatever that might be. Now they say it's for "add on applications" which is not any more defined either.
edit: Actually Stefan, I think you are right that for one release or two it was in opt. But not before that or after that.

Re: Why do apps like Firefox install to /opt?
Personally, I had expected Firefox to be installed in /usr/local. I've never understood /opt.

Re: Why do apps like Firefox install to /opt?
as andyRTR points out, programs are installed to /opt when it is most convenient for the person creating the PKGBUILD. as others have said, this is often because the program doesn't fit in the FHS standard too well. So its basically for the sake of simplicity, from the package developer's point of view.
Personally I think installing firefox to /usr/lib would be just wrong; its not a library! Putting it in /usr/local would also be wrong, /usr/local should NOT be used for system binaries; its meant for applications you compile yourself from scratch without a PKGBUILD (ie: they are not under pacman control). The only thing I can think of that may be a little better than the current procedure is to put symlinks to the firefox binaries in /usr/bin.
