I think the question of ahmad was about "backport vs updates".
And I think firefox is suitable for the list of package exceptions that
should be backported rather than using a patch ( see
<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=updates_policy">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=updates_policy</A> ).
And so, since I guess everybody assume that ff and chromium can go in
the list, as they are unsupported upstream _and_ too complex to fix with
a patch.
