You could try downloading the source package for Mozilla 1.2.1 from unstable and building a .deb from that on your system. > If something is wrong with the newest mozilla how do I go back to the > original debian Mozilla 1.0.0 package? Keep a copy of it handy? Download it again from stable? > How long will it take for Mozilla 1.2 to become a stable > debian package so one can use apt-get? Until the next stable release. Stable is only updated for security fixes, which are usually back-ported to the stable version to minimize risk. So Mozilla 1.2 will never be in Debian 3.0, but it (or something even newer) will be in whatever the next release is called (3.1, 4.0, whatever). Craig
