Maybe Ubuntu developers will fix this themselves with a default expansion for Firefox or similar? While we are waiting for this to be solved upstream. ]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 19:46:16 +0000
The filesystem hierarchy is fine the way it is, but you have to hide it from the end-user unless she's looking specifically for it.

No user should have to know to look in /usr/bin to find the launchers for applications. The application list should pop up the same way it does for the "Open With" in Nautilus or Thunar.]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:57:18 +0000 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/58710
