Dear Developers,

With Ubuntu Accessibility list I sent following letter this day morning:
This day morning in Lucid security unfortunately original Thunderbird 
version is upgraded with 3.1.7 release my Lucid system.
With Orca 2.30 version this change resulting very slow list navigation 
with mail folders, similar with Maverick original Orca 2.32 version if 
an inbox folder have relative lot of messages.
If a folder have lot of messages, for example the focusing, navigation 
operations is very slow after upgrade.
Another problem: if I choosing an email message, unable to read the 
message body without not try jumping the caret with Tab or Shift+Tab 
key. I not using present messages with new tab option.

See following bug, with partialy fixed the slowest list navigation 
problem under Orca git master version to see what performance related problem we seeing with Orca and Thunderbird 3.1.7 release:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633104

I absolute agree the security upgrades is very important, but this 
change now kill Thunderbird accessibility. Prewious oldest awailable 
Thunderbird 3.0.10 version is works fine with Lucid before this upgrade and wonderful usable with all tasks.
I known, Mozilla changed the products supporting model and your work is absolute not easy, because you need following the upgrades. But if now 
happened this problem, what will be happening for example with Firefox 4 
upgrade?
Before I do upgrade, I forgot hold Thunderbird related packages 
(thunderbird, thunderbird-gnome-support, thunderbird-locale-en, 
thunderbird-locale-hu). What place I possible download this latest 3.0.x 
awailable packages source to undo this upgrade?

Or this is not possible, what will be happening for example the Lucid 
LTS release to we get back Thunderbird accessibility support?

Have you got an ydea how can possible fix this bug for example an LTS release?
Compatibility purpose not possible do an alternative package the prewious good working Thunderbird 3.0.10 release if the main version is upgraded with full newest upstream version, for example:
thunderbird-3.0.10
thunderbird-3.0.10-gnome-support
thunderbird-3.0.10-locales

This is important the Mozilla products, because another components are
not rolling updated, for example gnome-orca package is not updated when
a new upstream release is released, and for example if the Mozilla
products is upgraded with newest upstream releases, possible oldest
awailable Orca version not perfect handling with some components, this
is important with accessibility.
