First of all the Firefox 2.0.0.12 update arrived at least in the buildservice at about the same time as anywhere else in the web.
So, as a person who decided to switch to openSUSE and a new user, I am supposed to know via ISP that 'it' has arrived in the buildservice? - but doing so it did not replace my security-deficient version of FF and so left me vulnerable?
I don't know what you are talking about and I guess you don't either. Because if you _did_ so it would have replaced your older Firefox. And no, I don't expect new users to know about all the stuff around zypper and buildservice repos.
Come on, please be reasonable and realise that there are big hassles which most people here keep overlooking or ignoring because it is politically incorrect or considered as being anti-suse or anti-linux.
So what do you propose? To ship only a kernel and a glibc and let the user manage the rest? So please be _reasonable_ yourself.
Even if you are free to use whatever you want there are a few changes in the SUSE version of Firefox 2.x. Some of them might not be of interest for you but still it is "better distribution integration":

Sorry, and I am not being offensive, but all the "reasons" you mention above are just lame and not relevant (to be polite) points.
That's your personal opinion. Stop talking about as if it would be everyone's.
Take for example your claim that, "-use supported and default paper sizes from CUPS printers". I have little trouble with printing with my non-openSUSE version of FF to my printer(s).
Then be happy that it works for you out of the box.
More, "Added some search providers". So what exactly is the big deal? One can add additional 'search providers' at any time without relying on Suse. In fact, I have *thrown out* most of the pre-installed search providers.
That's again your personal opinion. Others have requested those in bugzilla.novell.com.
I won't go through the rest of the list because the items are all questionable, sorry.
It's most probably because you don't know what it is about but that stuff wasn't added out of fun but because it was reported as bug or requested as a feature request. I'll stop discussing this with you and let others decide if the changes are relevant to them or not.
