Not to sidetrack, but this is why I prefer kanotix, it's a direct access to sid, usually not much more than a week goes by before I have the latest tbird or firefox, but at the cost of being in an unstable pool. And it's unstable, no doubt.
The same problems, by the way, exist for konqueror, kmail, to upgrade those you have to upgrade all of kde, so it's actually worse than firefox/tbird.
But significantly less people use those than firefox so it doesn't hit the news in this way.
