    I'm not seeing this with firefox over here.
    The setup I have is the latest beta,
    located in /usr/lib/firefox/ with a soft link to /usr/bin/
    I don't have gnome2 vfs installed though.
    just a bare firefox with 2 plugins(flash,null)
    located in /.mozilla/plugins/
    for restorecon.

    not sure what distro you have, but with ubuntu
    I noticed a quit a bit of other links created.
    that is installing through apt-get, rather
    just downloading the source and putting it wherever.

    regards;

    Justin P. Mattock
