Please test firefox/thunderbird/mozilla security packages

Hi all,

we uploaded preview packages for the next security update of mozilla applications
in debian sarge.

This is the second maintenance release after mozilla foundation officially ended
support for the product versions we ship in sarge. The packages are based on the patches I
backported and announced a few days ago [1].

If you are a more or less advanced debian-sarge user (or developer) who wants to contribute and
you are using one of the mozilla apps, then please help by testing
this preview release and provide both, negative and positive feedback to pkg-mozilla-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org.

To test this release, please upgrade your favorite mozilla app from the sources given below.

The repository that contains the new packages can be found at http://people.debian.org/~asac/security.

The applications and versions of concern are:

• mozilla-firefox 1.0.4-2sarge10


• mozilla-thunderbird 1.0.2-2.sarge1.0.8b.1


• mozilla 1.7.8-1sarge7.2.1

You can either download the .debs manually or add the following to your apt sources.list:

deb http://people.debian.org/~asac/security ./

If you run into troubles with any of the new packages, chances are high this is due to some
extension that makes use of some corner-case feature. In order to help to track these cases down
you should disable your extensions one by one until you get rid of the problem. If you find the
extension that causes all the troubles, please don’t forget to mention its name and version.

Thanks for your support!
