Anyway, no one cares about my firefox woes, and quite rightly too.

I care. I care deeply.

Actually, I don't much, but I do think it's ridiculous. As a onetime debian desktop user (not currently), it has always been an absurd situation that most users couldn't give a monkeys about, only that software they want is called something else and much older than it should be. Same with Thunderbird.

If software doesn't fit debian's ethos, stick it in non-free or don't package it at all. The current situation results in insecure and outdated versions of a very commonly used piece of software.
