Again, I know I have to keep my Archlinux-systems up to date, but I didn't
have the time to completely update that particular pc, still wanting to
update firefox since my grandfather *only* uses firefox on his computer. I
just didn't know pacman didn't handle all dependencies for me and I thought
upgrading a simple webbrowser would be safe.
