   Mmm.. installed !firefox 3.5 under !ubuntu, but it keeps starting 3.0... how could I tell the system to use last version?

     @mcastel System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications -> Web Browser -> Custom -> firefox-3.5 %s

     @mcastel !ubuntu You could start with "sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox-3.5"

     @mcastel Actually I cheated as well. I uninstalled FF 3.0 from !ubuntu and "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox"

     @mcastel system->preferences->preferred applications or symlink to /usr/bin/firefox from the 3.5 binary

     @johncc is it normal than now it appear "Shiretoko" on the top of the browser window?

     @mcastel sadly yes

     @mcastel Yeah, that's normal :) It's the project code name. Not sure why the branding is not applied yet.

     @mcastel is the executable something like firefox-3.5 rather than firefox? If so just go to the menu editor and change the command :)

     @johncc is it safe to remove #firefox 3.0 at this point?

     @mcastel I've had no issues from doing so.
