jadesfireCOMING UP AFTER THE NEWS:
Mild-mannered librarian throws computer out of window in shocking Linux-related outburst. No sparrows were harmed, although a duck was slightly stunned and had to be brought to the bank for first aid. The computer sank into the river without trace, which the librarian noted was just as well since if it did show its case again, she couldn't be held responsible for her actions.
As they were doing up the straps on her straitjacket to take her away, she was heard muttering, "it said it couldn't install firefox and it didn't install firefox because it didn't have the gecko package and nothing at all was happening and I could find the thing about the gecko on bugzilla only there was nothing about where to find the gecko and I just right-clicked and then I clicked on the icon and then I had Firefox only not the Firefox I wanted it was the previous version of Firefox that I know I uninstalled how the hell did it get back on there?"
LATER:
We speak to the gecko.

(Ahhhhh, I feel your pain - I love running open source, but the making things work can occasionally break your mind into teeny tiny pieces. Which is one of the reasons I'm on Windows now. I kind of needed my mind! So I admire you for sticking with it. ♥)
