A related question is why www/firefox is still Firefox 2, and all the
browser plugins like swfdec only work with that. Firefox 3 is the
current stable version, shouldn't there just be www/firefox2 if people
have some obscure use cases that require the old one? It's kind of
surprising when pkg_add -r firefox installs such an old version.
