Here is a suggestion for what to do whenever you change the way something works: PROVIDE SOME AUTOMATIC COMPATIBILITY this can be done in any number of ways: * a script that auto-edits things * a compatibility wrapper that emits warnings that get shown to the hapless user on occasion, but ultimately does the right thing (e.g. fires up firefox). * Some testing to ensure that when you tell firefox to make firefox the default, that it references the correct name. By the way, I long ago figured out that I cannot preserve my home directory config files from release to release precisely because of this seemingly unbounded list of issues that crop up. So, I create my user id anew and leave the ~/.kde* et al. stuff behind. That is actually not much fun. It would be much cleaner to have a "migrate-home-config-files" script. Such a script would have done a ``sed -i s/MozillaFirefox/firefox/'' on everything.
