Bug Description

Binary package hint: kazehakase

See:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Lucid/FirefoxNewSupportModel/
https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-new-firefox-support-model
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Lucid/FirefoxNewSupportModel/xulrunner-list

From the spec:

"Reduce in-archive reverse dependencies to a minimum

Not backporting security fixes, but upgrading to new firefox branches would come with a considerable effort for backporting reverse dependencies in the archive. To keep this approach sustainable the ubuntu archive needs to be reviewed and only the most important packages can be kept."

Ideally, gecko users viewing insecure content should be ported to webkit, but if not, they need to work with the latest version of xulrunner, and would need to be ported to each new version introduced to the stable release. kazehakase has a webkit backend, but that is completely non-functional at the moment and maintaining the gecko backend is likely to be a substantial burden.

The packages have no rdepends and don't score that highly on popcon.
