[Mageia-dev] FireFox ESR <= we should totally go for this wrt stable releases

Mon Feb 6 08:38:45 CET 2012

And, don't forget, we still have a package named firefox-beta. If we stick
+with FF10, then some day we will come to a situation of firefox-10.0.4 and
+firefox-beta-15b1 for Mageia 2, which is unacceptable. Or, we should make
+an exception on firefox-beta, it should be obsoleted by updated firefox for
+stable distros.
