Particularly in that case, I consider the bitwise fork to be a great 
advantage rather than a drawback. It gives the OS/2 community much 
better control of getting the OS/2 specific bugs fixed.

The one problem is that Firefox now has an absurdingly short update 
cycle. Just as so many other products because of the ability to update 
over the internet ...
