Updated Firefox to 8.0.1

Browse Source 
I've ripped out building against a system installed
xulrunner. I'm going to work on xulrunner next and 
come back to Firefox

<para><application>Firefox</application> is a stand-alone browser

<para>With the introduction of Firefox-3.x, the
<application>pkgconfig</application> files for the Gecko engine (and for
<application>NSS</application> and <application>NSPR</application>) are not
installed. This means that applications such as <application>Yelp
</application> can no longer be built against firefox, and must instead be
built against Xulrunner (which is actually the same code, but built in a
different way). If you wish to build other packages which use Gecko (of the
applications in this book, probably only the gnome applications
will recognize this version of Xulrunner), build <xref linkend="xulrunner"/>
first.</para>
<tip>
<para>Firefox is updated frequently as new vulnerabilities are found.
Consult
<ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/">mozilla security</ulink>
for details of what is fixed in newer releases. The editors cannot guess
what will differ in newer versions: it should be straightforward to upgrade
within the same series (3.6), but it is always possible that newer versions
will have increased dependencies, or that something using the nss or gecko
libraries will break. If you update, begin by updating
<application>Xulrunner</application> if you use that, then update Firefox
(ensuring the libxul-sdk option points to the new version).</para>

a default mail client, you can add a configuration parameter to
<application>Firefox</application> so that an email client will start
when you click on a <systemitem role='url'>mailto:</systemitem> URL.
There are two parameters you need to check. The procedure to check or
modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
parameters.</para>
<para>First, open the configuration dialog by entering
<systemitem role='url'>about:config</systemitem> in the address bar. This
will display a list of the configuration preferences and information
related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter
search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
(True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating
new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
<quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
fields when prompted.</para>
<para>The two configuration preference items you need to check so that
<application>Firefox</application> uses a specified default mail client
are the <parameter>network.protocol-handler.external.mailto</parameter>
which should be set to <option>True</option> and the
<parameter>network.protocol-handler.app.mailto</parameter> which should
be set to the path of the desired mail client, e.g.,
<option>/usr/bin/thunderbird</option>.</para>
<tip>
<para>There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to
customize <application>Firefox</application>. A very extensive and
up-to-date list of these parameters can be found at <ulink
url="http://preferential.mozdev.org/preferences.html"/>.</para>
</tip>
<para>Many old applications used to look for <command>netscape</command>
when they needed to open a browser. You may wish to make the following
symlink for convenience (as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
user).</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>ln -v -sf firefox /usr/bin/netscape</userinput></screen>
