Dear all,

After applying the updates that could come in, gnome
is working :) although it still complains about Power
something not configured.  I clicked on Firefox and it
was starting up, and then a license agreement appears:

MOZILLA FIREFOX END-USER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Version 3.0, May 2008

  

A source code version of certain Firefox Browser
functionality that you may use, modify and distribute
is available to you free-of-charge from
www.mozilla.org under the Mozilla Public License and
other open source software licenses.


The accompanying executable code version of Mozilla
Firefox and related documentation (the "Product") is
made available to you under the terms of this Mozilla
Firefox End-User Software License Agreement (the
"Agreement").  By clicking the "Accept" button, or by
installing or using the Mozilla Firefox Browser, you
are consenting to be bound by the Agreement.  If you
do not agree to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, do not click the "Accept" button, and do
not install or use any part of the Mozilla Firefox
Browser.


During the Mozilla Firefox installation process, and
at later times, you may be given the option of
installing additional components from third-party
software providers.  The installation and use of those
third-party components may be governed by additional
license agreements.


1.  LICENSE GRANT.  The Mozilla Corporation grants you
a non-exclusive license to use the executable code
version of the Product.  This Agreement will also
govern any software upgrades provided by Mozilla that
replace and/or supplement the original Product, unless
such upgrades are accompanied by a separate license,
in which case the terms of that license will govern.


2.  TERMINATION.  If you breach this Agreement your
right to use the Product will terminate immediately
and without notice, but all provisions of this
Agreement except the License Grant (Paragraph 1) will
survive termination and continue in effect.  Upon
termination, you must destroy all copies of the
Product.


3.  PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  Portions of the Product are
available in source code form under the terms of the
Mozilla Public License and other open source licenses
(collectively, "Open Source Licenses") at
http://www.mozilla.org/MPL.  Nothing in this Agreement
will be construed to limit any rights granted under
the Open Source Licenses.  Subject to the foregoing,
Mozilla, for itself and on behalf of its licensors,
hereby reserves all intellectual property rights in
the Product, except for the rights expressly granted
in this Agreement.  You may not remove or alter any
trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notice
in or on the Product.  This license does not grant you
any right to use the trademarks, service marks or
logos of Mozilla or its licensors.


4.  PRIVACY POLICY.  You agree to the Mozilla Firefox
Privacy Policy, made available online at
http://www.mozilla.com/legal/privacy/, as that policy
may be changed from time to time.  When Mozilla
changes the policy in a material way a notice will be
posted on the website at www.mozilla.com and when any
change is made in the privacy policy, the updated
policy will be posted at the above link.  It is your
responsibility to ensure that you understand the terms
of the privacy policy, so you should periodically
check the current version of the policy for changes.


5.  WEBSITE INFORMATION SERVICES.  Mozilla and its
contributors, licensors and partners work to provide
the most accurate and up-to-date phishing and malware
information.  However, they cannot guarantee that this
information is comprehensive and error-free: some
risky sites may not be identified, and some safe sites
may be identified in error.


6.  DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.  The product is provided
"as is" with all faults.  To the extent permitted by
law, Mozilla and Mozilla’s distributors, and
licensors hereby disclaim all warranties, whether
express or implied, including without limitation
warranties that the product is free of defects,
merchantable, fit for a particular purpose and
non-infringing.  You bear the entire risk as to
selecting the product for your purposes and as to the
quality and performance of the product.  This
limitation will apply notwithstanding the failure of
essential purpose of any remedy.  Some jurisdictions
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied
warranties, so this disclaimer may not apply to you.


7.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Except as required by
law, Mozilla and its distributors, directors,
licensors, contributors and agents (collectively, the
"Mozilla Group") will not be liable for any indirect,
special, incidental, consequential or exemplary
damages arising out of or in any way relating to this
agreement or the use of or inability to use the
product, including without limitation damages for loss
of goodwill, work stoppage, lost profits, loss of
data, and computer failure or malfunction, even if
advised of the possibility of such damages and
regardless of the theory (contract, tort or otherwise)
upon which such claim is based.  The Mozilla Group's
collective liability under this agreement will not
exceed the greater of $500 (five hundred dollars) and
the fees paid by you under the license (if any).  Some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental, consequential or special damages, so
this exclusion and limitation may not apply to you.


8.  EXPORT CONTROLS.  This license is subject to all
applicable export restrictions.  You must comply with
all export and import laws and restrictions and
regulations of any United States or foreign agency or
authority relating to the Product and its use.


9.  U.S. GOVERNMENT END-USERS.  This Product is a
"commercial item," as that term is defined in 48
C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer
software" and "commercial computer software
documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R.
12.212 (Sept. 1995) and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202 (June
1995).  Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212, 48 C.F.R.
27.405(b)(2) (June 1998) and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202, all
U.S. Government End Users acquire the Product with
only those rights as set forth therein.


10.  MISCELLANEOUS.  (a) This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between Mozilla and you
concerning the subject matter hereof, and it may only
be modified by a written amendment signed by an
authorized executive of Mozilla.  (b) Except to the
extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise,
this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the
state of California, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of
law provisions.  (c) This Agreement will not be
governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods.  (d) If any part
of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable,
that part will be construed to reflect the parties'
original intent, and the remaining portions will
remain in full force and effect.  (e) A waiver by
either party of any term or condition of this
Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance,
will not waive such term or condition or any
subsequent breach thereof. (f) Except as required by
law, the controlling language of this Agreement is
English.  (g) You may assign your rights under this
Agreement to any party that consents to, and agrees to
be bound by, its terms; the Mozilla Corporation may
assign its rights under this Agreement without
condition.  (h) This Agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties, their
successors and permitted assigns.

I started to check my mails, then it bombed out on the
last mail.  It like reverted back to an older firefox
and codename minefield, or is this supposed to be the
new firefox?

Regards,

Antonio
