Indeed, with Mozilla's changed support policy we need to upgrade Firefox in previous stable releases to 3.6 (in particular, Hardy). However, this first requires a lot of changes and backports for the underlying libraries, so it is very intrusive and work intensive. The 3.6 update for hardy has been worked on for a while, and is expected to land soon: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-new-firefox-support-model Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
