If I wanted to deploy chrome I would be deploying chrome. Maybe it would 
spare me a lot of headaches.

Not really if you remove facilities that have been working since day one 
(I've been deploying mozilla since it was a monolithic application, and 
I preferred it that way, just one application to deploy instead of two 
that have a lot of overlap).
Maybe I wasn't using a "sanctioned" method to to the deployment, but 
that was just because there was *no* method to do it when I started 
doing it, hence, with each new release, I had to jump through hoops to 
keep it working.
Anyway, the "new", "improved" methods are less straightforward than the 
old fashioned ones.

Bye
