After a discussion with Mozilla representatives, which took some time due to
both of us being busy with major new releases, we're making good progress
toward an arrangement where we will maintain the Firefox brand and work
closely with upstream to ensure that we're both happy with how Firefox is
represented in Ubuntu.

As a preliminary step, we've incorporated branding changes and some bug
fixes into the final firefox builds for Edgy which were agreed with Mozilla.
