Details

The Linux installer deletes the whole /usr/local/mozilla directory (or whatever).
It should delete everything except files in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins which
weren't instlled by mozilla (the only mozilla installes plugin is currently
libnullplugin.so). It's tiresome adding all the plugins (e.g. Java) each time a
new Mozilla is installed.

Please check for duplicates before filing bugs, especially if you feel it's
"tiresome" since most likely lots of other people do too.

I've tried, but I would have never imagined that the needed keywords were
'surgical' and 'strategy'.

Or "install delete". Quicksearch simplifies the process greatly:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/quicksearch.html  (the type-in box on the bugzilla
home page accepts searches in this format once you learn it).
