Actually, we have feisty-backports archive for that. The problem is
that its not really easy to upgrade firefox without having to upgrade
lots of other applications that use the firefox provided gecko
engine. For thunderbird and friends this is much less hazard and I
think at least for feisyt there is a backport in preparation of
thunderbird 2.0.

Does that answer your question? Or did you ask for more?
