Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Since we are on the cusp of an incompatible update of firefox from 2.0 to 3.0, the two versions of firefox are already set to use separate profile directories. Why not take this opportunity to change the profile directory to ~/.firefox for Firefox 3.0 while leaving Firefox 2 with it's old profile directory at ~/.mozilla/firefox? This has the added advantage that it avoids the future problem of migrating the firefox 3 profile from ~/.mozilla/firefox-3.0 to ~/.mozilla/firefox when Firefox 3 is released.
