It's easy to interpret this as a rhetorical question. :)
But, sometimes you'll see Firefox compiled with XPrint extensions,
which I've never found to be a good thing. I think the Linux download
off their Web site is compiled this way.
Some of the vendors try to make their own binaries as friendly as
possible. I've had good luck with Fedora and Ubuntu.
But really, should anyone be subjected to this? :)
Maybe it saves trees.
