What is this 'Firefox' of which you speak?
(Says he from the standpoint of a Sidux/Debian system, which uses Iceweasel
branding anyway! The only hassle is that my on-line banking doesn't
recognise Iceweasel as the same as Firefox, so I have to spoof it ).

Exactly, Arch Linux has been using the code names for each Firefox release for ages, for exactly these reasons, I currently run "Gran Paradiso", aka Firefox 3.

Like David, I've had to edit my configuration to change my browser name to Firefox, as banks etc. are too stupid to not go by the rendering engine rather than the name of the gui.<BR>

It seems a mute argument to me, as I think Ubuntu is one of the very few distros who actually ship with "firefox" branding.<BR>
