Honestly?  The answer is just that I haven't gotten around to it. 
Firefox was the priority since that is one of our default apps -- the 
others aren't.  Thunderbird 1.0.1 and Mozilla 1.7.6 are right around the 
corner, so at this juncture, It may be best to wait a few more days. 
I'm in an upstream meeting this Monday where I'll find out more about 
when the next releases are out, and I'll push out updates then if they 
seem to be too far out.
