extra programs e.g. liferea that piggy-back on firefox
continually need
to update to track the firefox install location, it's a pain
in the ass
for it to change every micro install. At least we don't
change on every
micro, but change on the medium. 

Of course distro's have to change the /opt of the default
install to
somewhere else as it's not an /opt package when it comes
with the OS
from a distro, so it's not really going to be a standard
location
anyway, so it doesn't affect us too much what it gets
called.
