I thought there was only Firefox 5.0, but my upgrade from 4.0.1 installed 5.0-3.1 and now a check of Software Management upgraded it to 5.0-4.1.
What is openSUSE messing up?
You can look at the changelog of every installed package via YaSTs software management, so take a look yourself what is “messed up”.
By the way: fixing bugs is actually just the opposite of messing things up.
So, what exactly is enable startup notification (bnc#701465)?
Who or what is getting notified?
Is that a bug in Firefox or the openSUSE implementation?
Why does it say the changelog only applies to the installed version, but goes back to March of 2009 and mentions Firefox 3.0.7?
So, what exactly is enable startup notification (bnc#701465)?
A startup notification is a notification about an application being started.
Who or what is getting notified?
The user is notified about the start of an application. In this case: Firefox.
Is that a bug in Firefox or the openSUSE implementation?
I don’t know.
Why does it say the changelog only applies to the installed version, but goes back to March of 2009 and mentions Firefox 3.0.7?
Because some are interested in changelogs of earlier versions.
