Hi Ken,

I have to support Windows and Firefox in Windows, so I have
no choice but to use the production releases.  I have had no
problems at all, except that the updates can not be installed
by the users -- you have to fire up Firefox as root.

It only takes a few minutes to install.  Some day I will write
a script to do it.  Drop me a line if you need instructions.

For a big roll out, I'd write a script.

You can also look at the Remi repo.  But, his stuff is on the
bloated side and you are at his mercy as to when he feels
like doing a new spin.
