    I just found something very strange (to me, anyway). I ran Firefox
    from the Mozilla installer. Then I clicked on a link in Thunderbird,
    which caused the Debian version to run. But instead of launching a
    separate window, the link opened in the existing window. But after
    doing that, when I went to Help>About, the version information changed
    from 1.0.6 to 1.0.4-2 provided by Debian! Same window, same open
    tabs, but suddenly it says it's the Debian version instead of the
    Mozilla one.

    How is that possible?
