Hi,

as can be seen on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases and
http://mozilla.github.com/process-releases/draft/development_specifics/
mozilla moved to a new rapid release scheme. That means firefox and
thunderbird 5 are due for the end of the month. While this permits us to
get more patches commited, this also provides quite a good amount of
work to track what happens in the various branches. Seamonkey 2.1 based
on firefox 4 should be released soon too.

While we're keeping firefox35 for the java plugin and firefox36 for
sparc64, i won't reproduce the same ugly scheme for thunderbird and
seamonkey, so thunderbird/seamonkey will likely lose sparc64 support
with the upcoming release. If you use thunderbird/seamonkey on sparc64,
too bad for you. You're welcome to help fixing the issue.

That said, the ports for the current beta releases are available here :
http://rhaalovely.net/cgit/mozilla-firefox/log/?h=firefox-5
http://rhaalovely.net/cgit/mozilla-thunderbird/log/?h=tb5

If you want to help and test this, just checkout the corresponding git
branch (git clone -b branch http://rhaalovely.net/git/mozilla-xxx) and
build/install the package.

Amd64 pkg available here, against somewhat current, dont come crying if
they don't install for you. I didn't test them yet.
