Yet I see a Linux tar.bz2 for Firefox at downloads.mozilla.org so I wonder why that binary doesn't just run unmodified anywhere and I'm waiting for 40.0 to show up in Bodhi?
If you don't see the value of distro integration and testing, then by all means, go use mozilla's binaries.
I do not see the value in manually checking koji for Firefox updates and then manually downloading and installing them. That's just not going to happen by pretty much anybody. I have u-t enabled, I do testing, this update is not in u-t yet.
If I knew Mozilla's Linux binaries provided its own update mechanism and notification, yes I would do exactly that. And I'd still ask what the benefit is of duplicating this effort? It sounds like it's not actually a benefit, rather it's "because packaging".
