Having resolved the firefox header/footer printing on my laptop, I went to implement it on my desktop box and discovered a different issue.  The desktop is older than the laptop.  The Ubuntu there was originally a version before Firefox was installed out of the box and had a Firefox 1.5.x.x even though the OS has been upgraded with each Ubuntu release and s also currently running Ubuntu 7.04.

Seems the Ubuntu installer/upgrader detected this and rather than replacing the FF 1.5, it also installed FF 2.0.x.x.  The FF 1.5 was originally installed in /opt as one might expect for an add-on package.  FF 2.0 was installed in /usr/lib as one might expect for a package that came as part of the distro.  /usr/bin/ contains two links, "firefox" points to /opt/firefox/firefox while firefox.ubuntu points to ../lib/firefox/firefox.  Interestingly enough, the laptop has /usr/bin/firefox pointing to ../lib/firefox/firefox.  Clearly, the installed/upgrader was the intelligence to create the firefox.ubuntu link on the desktop.

OK, here is the issue: I want to get rid of the FF 1.5 and use the 2.0 version only.  I realize I can simply change the /usr/bin/firefox link to use 2.0.  My question is how to properly delete 1.5 since there seems to be no uninstall and the package manager is not aware of it (it was originally installed using a Linux install link on the Mozilla site).  Just deleting /opt/firefox/ may not be safe or complete..  Anyone know how to do this cleanly?
