    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.9.0.12-0lenny1.

    As indicated in the Etch release notes, security support for the
    Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution needed to be stopped
    before the end of the regular Etch security maintenance life cycle.
    You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable or switch to a still
    supported browser.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), these problems will be fixed
    soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.9.0.12-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner packages.
