I'd say that's your problem... you definitely had 2 different versions 
installed in some capacity or other.  Most Linux distros package up 
their own package, and do so differently than the way Mozilla packages 
it (or doesn't, depending on how you choose to download/install).   

But since your distro packages it for you, why did you upgrade from 
Mozilla?  In general, this is the Wrong Thing(tm).  Unless you really 
want to maintain security fixes yourself (which for most users would 
just be silly, though there are reason to do it), you should really 
stick with your distro's package.
