Another way to go is to not wait for debian packages. I go directly to
the firefox, thunderbird, openoffice, etc. and download the latest
releases. I'm running Firefox 1.0.6 on testing (2.6.8-2) with zero
problems. Same for TB 1.0.6 and OO 1.9.122. I can't recall every having
a problem with firefox running this way. Download the tarball from the
FF site, extract the files to a folder (usually called
firefox-installer) and then copy the folder to its permanent home (I
stick it in /opt). Rename the previous folder (if you have one)
firefox.old, then rename firefox-installer, firefox and that's all there
is to it.
