Bug Description

Firefox 127+ requires rustc 1.76 to build¹².

The beta phase for Firefox 127.0 begins on 2024-05-13 and release candidates will be available from 2024-06-11.

Eventually Thunderbird will need an updated rust toolchain as well.

We will need these in all supported releases of Ubuntu: focal, jammy, mantic, noble.

Rust toolchain upgrades are usually relatively safe from a FTBFS point of view, since new releases are subjected to a crater run, crater being a tool that compiles the entirety of the crates.io packages.
