I don't know what unison is, but in most cases you can't just swap out firefox for mozilla. Firefox is a web browser. Mozilla is a web browser (with email client, etc) plus a sofware development kit and relevant development libraries. So even though you are asking "Why does it need mozilla? I have firefox, won't that do?", the answer (in the usual scenarios) is no, as they are very different packages and firefox does not provide a lot of stuff which mozilla does. Hopefully in the future, mozilla will split out the SDK/libraries into a seperate package so that you don't have to install the mozilla webbrowser/emailer/etc. Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
