Firefox3.0 is expected in december 2007 ... more realistically in
januar 2008 ... thats what I heard in one of the last firefox status
meetings.

for thunderbird 3.0 ... I would expect nothing.

ack ... if there is something missing for this, we should definitly
contribute upstream. They are probably happy to get help on this
... of course we have to begin in time ... e.g. submit patches at best
before ffox beta 2 (read: end Q2/ start Q3 2007).
