I'm not talking about make firefox part of gnome desktop.  I think that 
the web browser of a gnome desktop must be epiphany, as konqueror must 
do the same role for kde.

I only talking about features/size advantage of firefox againts the 
mozilla+epiphany duo now in disc1

I see most of our gnome/kde user do network installs.

Also, we may include firefox for amd64.  We aren't doing the same for 
epipahny.

If mozilla+epiphany+firefox will fit on disc1, great.  But if not, my 
chance is for firefox.
