Currently 3.6.x is supported upstream, so Lucid and Maverick
will continue to get updates. Currently, we are planning to
migrate 10.04 and 10.10 to the rapid release cycle when 3.6.x
reaches EOL. There is some discussion upstream about a distro
supported Firefox LTS and we will keep an eye on those
developments. Be assured that we intend to provide a secure
browsing experience for the LTS and all the stable releases.<br>
