Please assist Fedora Extras in preparing revisions of the firefox-0.8
and thunderbird-0.6 packages before the release of FC2. These packages
are patched with Blizzard's xremote fixes which finally allow perfect
integration with both firefox & thunderbird running simultaneously. We
have also spent a great deal of time making sure they work within the
newly fixed Preferred Application framework of FC2.
Only minor changes are needed to both packages before publication. Also
it would help if Fedora Desktop volunteers can help to contact upstream
developers to either act as liasons, or work directly with Fedora Extras
development.

Even non-programmers can help by searching upstream mozilla.org bugzilla
and talking to firefox or mozilla developers about this issue. It is
very likely that there already exists a patch or workaround for this
issue, but the developers are too busy to search for it. You can help!
For example, we have made this kind of very successful partnership with
three upstream gaim developers. They are automatically added to all
Fedora gaim bug reports, and have helped us immensely to be very
responsive to user bugzilla reports and package fixing. (Currently
there are ZERO open gaim reports in FC!)
