But the idea that a user gets fed up (for whatever reason) of the
version of firefox distributed with the distribution and wants to
install the mozilla.org binaries is very good. In that view is very much
desirable that a distribution is ready to accomodate that case for what
is probably the number 1 graphical application.

So, I would suggest to feedback to mozilla.org and then keep part of
that patch.
