Firefox 1.5 inside Breezy Backports was a big mistake on my part. At the time I did not fully understand the ramifications of backporting Firefox, so I went ahead and did it. It was a nightmare chasing after the reverse dependencies and for about a month, reports of Gecko-dependent packages crashing came rolling in. To make matters worse, when 1.5.0.x security updates started coming in, they could not make it to Backports in a timely manner because they either refuse to build or were not packaged in Dapper in a timely manner.
Overall, I'm not going to make a Firefox backport until Gecko-needing apps start using the XulRunner interface so Firefox can be freed of its system duties and once again be just a web browser.
