"mozilla-firefox" changes to just "firefox&am

With my recent "pacman -Syu" I noticed that the binary that used to be mozilla-firefox is now just firefox.  Is this a change done by archlinux or by the mozilla people?

I believe this is a change by the firefox package maintainer. The new package also adds menu items for GNOME and KDE. I think this package still needs some work however, because when I press my 'Web' hotkey on my keyboard, it nolonger opens a new firefox tab but instead replaces the contents of my previous windows with a blank page.

I believe it's an arch exclusive change, since this appeared on the last newsletter:

JGC has been working on more integrated mozilla packages. 0.7 will have one mozilla directory for mozilla, mozilla-firefox, and mozilla-thunderbird.

If you mean the fact that the binary is no longer mozilla-firefox and now simply firefox, then you are incorrect. Arch was the only distro that I used which used the mozilla-firefox command instead of simply firefox.

I'm glad to see the change for some reason.

Re: "mozilla-firefox" changes to just "firefox&am

guys, did you see anything different that came with that change?

I have a problem the last days and it goes like this:
Firefox gets sometimes (especially when starting to load a page)  the focus. So I'm writing in  a small window (gossip & gaim), and also visiting sites, but firefox keeps going up and gossip or gaim window hides back. this is very annoying

Zepplin: You can make Firefox not allow pages to steal focus in the options. This should solve your problem.

I don't get why I was wrong.

Re: "mozilla-firefox" changes to just "firefox&am

I don't have the focus stealing problems.
My main problems with the new build consisted of being unable to open in new tabs from external applications. I've solved this by modifying line 180 in /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox to

_remote_cmd="openURL(${_optLast},new-tab)"

I'm not sure if this prevented the focus stealing problems.

I'm also running the following 2 extensions which might be preventing the focus stealing:
- Single Window 1.0
- Tabbrowser Preferences 0.6.14

Re: "mozilla-firefox" changes to just "firefox&am

well, the open in new tab, can REALLY be chagned in the Preferences..
I wonder if the problem with stealing focus is because I sometimes press the Web/Home Key I have in my Natural Pro kbd (I have assosicated this button with Firefox via GNOME menus)
not sure though..
