Since Dapper LTS has been replaced by Hardy LTS and Firefox is available at least in 2.x and even 3.0 versions, this wish should be closed. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- No backport of Firefox 2.o to Dapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89704 You

It seems that security fixes will be backported to Dapper's Firefox 1.5.0.12 from now on. That's keeping up Debian's spirit of keeping stable releases "versionally stable", which is a great thing IMO. References: Bug #126727 http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-490-1 -- No backport of Firefox 2.o to Da

I for my part would be happy if Firefox stayed at 1.5 in Dapper. Unfortunately, AFAIK there's no Plastikfox-theme available for Firefox 2, so I would lose my (cosmetical) KDE integration with an upgraded Firefox. Debian shows that it's possible to support an outdated Firefox securitywise; Firefox i

hk47, I know its possible to install a 32bit Firefox on the amd64 version. I wrote one of the howto's you have linked to. But that doesnt solve some problems. One is that you cant print a page from the 32bit browser. Another is that in kde the browser doesnt use some of the themes. There are al

Sorry, this may be a bit OT. Some quick links to HOWTOs which should give some ideas how to integrate a vanilla 32 bit Firefox in Ubuntu 64 bit: [1] http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/AMD64_Firefox32 [2] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 I roughly followed [1] when I added the vanilla

The lack of a backport is of major concern to amd64 users of Dapper. There is no way to easily replace the 64bit version of Firefox like there is with the 32bit version. I also think the statment that it is complex to get Firefox 2.0 running on Dapper to be a slight bit of an exageration. The 32bit

Hi Myriam, As Daniel said, Alexander is a reliable source with regard to Ubuntu's Firefox packaging. Alexander asked me (as his manager) to look into this bug. I recognise that it is useful to have a clear statement on the Ubuntu project's position on Firefox 1.5 support in Dapper. I've put togeth

@Alexander: are you giving an official statement of Ubuntu here or is this just a guess? Understand that people have Ubuntu 6.06 LTS installed on their computers and are somewhat puzzled if they learn that Firefox security updates _are_ discontinued on the Mozilla side. Unless there is some offi
