Look, I don't mean to offend, but you do realize what things like this
do to the impression of Ubuntu's accessibility and the commitment the
Ubuntu team supposedly has to it? They're not even willing to take steps
to fix Firefox for accessibility. The web browser, a core program we *need*.

Firefox is a complex beast, and since its tightly integrated into the desktop, its a big process to update, so much so that we have a dedicated firefox maintainer on the desktop team. Since we are coming up to our second beta release, there is little to no chance that the latest firefox 3.6 updates will get in, at least before final release. New minor upstream releases of 3.6 may get in post release however, so keep a look out.
