    Thanks; I meant to do that last night, but I forgot after I wrote the
    e-mail. :)

    Yeah, I went ahead and installed the 1.0.4-2sarge1 version, and it's
    working fine. But like Carl said, soon that won't work because of
    dependency changes. And having to upgrade libc6 and all of Gnome or
    KDE just to use a new Firefox version is...not ideal.
