There are a ton of packages which RDEPEND on mozilla-firefox, when they could use mozilla-firefox-bin just fine. I'll be testing these packages to make sure they work without mozilla-firefox installed, then I'll be filing bugs for them and making them depend on this one.

All the bugs this bug depends on have been closed. Any reason to keep this one open?
Closing this bug as release doesn't do any graphical CDs any more, the linked bugs has all been closed and no one reacted to my previous comment.
