Firefox 1.5rc3 Sarge is available at backports.org


add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.backports.org/pending/ ./

then apt-get update && apt-get install firefox

Enjoy!

With sid this is true...but if you try to pull it in from backports.org like I suggested then it's still referred to 'firefox'.

Well, it conflicts with mozilla-mplayer which depends on mozilla-firefox and not firefox. Anyone with a fix?
