Hi,

I would like to know, since the release is now very close, if there
could be a final upload of the mozilla-based products.

I have 2 main concerns:
- A patch (stolen from redhat) that we apply leads to bugs such as
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370386
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=414008
  This is IMHO quite problematic, since it makes the external helper
  applications thing more or less useless. This patch, on the other hand,
  is also important because it makes helper applications with arguments
  work.
  We have 3 possibilities to fix the issue:
  - backout the patch
  - forcing the browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions
    preference to false
  - Apply the new version of the patch, that I sent to
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=258000, see the
    interdiff with the previous patch, attached.
  This applies to iceape, iceweasel and xulrunner. It might be a good
  idea to add the patch to icedove as well, if we leave it in the
  others.

- Upstream is releasing a regression fix release that fixes the
  following issues:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370559
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371576
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373181
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371925
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370136
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371525

What do you, release managers, estimate should or should not go in a
final upload of the mozilla-based packages ?

Mike
