Great, thanks, that's the magic word. I had (erroneously) assumed the
bigger one was later. What I did:
As root:
cd /opt
mv firefox firefox.old
As me:
/usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu
(which I'll rename to "firefox")
and it came up. I'll have to bring up 1.5 again to transcribe all open
windows' URLs into something, because 2.0 came up with just the start page.

Crap, running 2.0 deleted them. Oh well, that's what backups are for.
root@pc:~# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/temp -o ro
root@pc:~# cp -r /mnt/temp/eben/.mozilla/firefox ~eben/.mozilla/
root@pc:~# umount /dev/hdb1
Muhahaha...

Wow, 31 windows (11 of which came up offscreen) with a total of 118 tabs. I
think I might have a problem.
Also, when I bring up FF (either version) or "Deluge-torrent", I get
(Gecko:32087): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: Could not initialize inotify
(well, not exactly that for Deluge). What do I need to install to make it
happy? And will doing so benefit me in any way besides making the message
go away?
