I hope this will be fixed before the final firefox 3 release. If you
have any serious problem please file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org (or
bugzilla.redhat.com and I'll move it upstream).
Things are still fresh and any feedback is highly appreciated.

We are not going to ship two firefox versions (2 and 3). Xulrunner-devel
is generally a firefox3-devel package, there isn't any difference and I
believe all developers will be able to transfer their packages to
Firefox 3 (or xulrunner in our distro).
