As I complete my brand-new production install of Mageia 1, I'm overjoyed to see that Firefox has been updated to version 6. Too bad they didn't do the same with Thunderbird...Oh, well. At least the vendor's package is easy to install.
For firefox, the new release claims to offer some fixes for security issues while the release packaged has been EOL'ed by Mozilla, meaning no security fixes will be made to those older versions anymore.
With Thunderbird, they have been less clear and the version released with Mageia is still supported, sort of. Because of this, and for as long as this holds, that release will be included with Mageia 1, though newer versions might well appear in the backports section.
I think this is really more of an issue with the new Mozilla policy making things hard for Mageia and other distributors, than a Mageia centric policy making things hard for Mageia users.
