about initialization and installation again
There was discussion at Haiku mail list about FF reordering, installation etc.

People dislike idea of "installation", preffering "unpack-and-run" version, but there is at least one more obstacle here, besides that described in previous posting - GRE.

Currently we're running all Mozilla apps as totally separate entities, wasting OS resources, but actually Mozilla apps (especially from FF 3 and relatives) are meant to use common Gecko Runtime Engine - actually set of shared libs installed somewhere at common lib path. Such version of Mozilla usage cannot be achieved without smart installation procedure.

Unfortunatly I think this would also need better support from Mozilla. In fact tying apps to a specified version of GRE so we can verify correct versions of GRE is being used.

If I havn't missed anything (and I havn't kept track of FF3) I think the zip-version is just fine for the time being. We can always provide system-builds of some parts like NSPR if we want to. It will mean however that we don't know if bugs are real or just problems with version incompabilities.
