    - update debian/patches/series
  * Update desktop file translations
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
  * Drop the application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml mimetype from the desktop file.
    Firefox hasn't been able to view XUL files from non-chrome URI's since
    version 4.0
    - update debian/firefox.desktop.in
  * Add application/x-xpinstall to the MimeType field of the desktop file
    - update debian/firefox.desktop.in
  * Drop the ability to select between tree/system libraries using a single
    option in debian/rules. It adds additional complexity and was never used

    - update debian/firefox-dev.links.in
    - update debian/pkgconfig/libxul.pc.in

    - update debian/patches/series
  * Shuffle the order of google-breakpad/src/common/dwarf/Makefile.in to fix a
    variable substitution issue, which was causing some objects to be built with
    the wrong compiler flags, resulting in dump_syms crashing (LP: #1002590)

  * Update StartupWMClass to the correct name
    - update debian/firefox.desktop.in

    people with the latter still installed
    - update debian/control{,.in}
  * Add Fulah to locales.blacklist
  * Fix LP: #1013186 - install our vendor preferences as application
    defaults rather than GRE defaults, so that they are loaded after
    the upstream defaults again. The upstream defaults were also moved
    as part of the webapp runtime work (which has it's own application
    defaults)
    - update debian/firefox.install.in
    - update debian/firefox.links.in
  * Apport hook improvements:
    - Sort preferences alphabetically in the apport data
    - Treat preferences set in default addons as default prefs so that
      they don't show up in apport data, unless the preference files have
      been modified
    - Support random pref files dropped in to the Firefox install folder, and
      preferences from application bundles
    - Fix ordering issues when loading preferences
  * Drop debian/patches/plugin-for-mimetype-pref.patch. The burden of
    carrying this is starting to outweigh the benefits of it

  [ Ben Collins <email address hidden> ]

  firefox (13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1) natty-security; urgency=low

  * New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_13_0_BUILD1)
    - see LP: #1007495 for USN information

  [ Chris Coulson <email address hidden> ]
  * Update globalmenu-extension to 3.2.3
    - Reduce our memory footprint a bit, which wasn't really a lot anyway
    - Avoid the use of the component manager for accessing commonly used
      services, where "commonly used" means "accessed when building every
      menu item". This should save some CPU cycles when building or
      refreshing menus
    - Try to recycle menuitems when they are removed from a menu by
      adding contiguous blocks of removed items to a "free list" which
      is emptied asynchronously, and reusing the items in this list when
      new items are added in place of the removed items. This means that
      refreshing the history menu contents when the menu is opened no
      longer alters the menu structure, but results in a shifting of
      properties between existing nodes instead. This has a few benefits:
      + With no layout changes, unity-panel-service doesn't request
        the entire menu structure, which significantly reduces dbus traffic
        and makes it much faster to refresh the menu contents
      + The size of the menu doesn't change when it is refreshed, which
        eliminates the flicker that used to occur when opening the history
        menu.
    - Remove all use of the global observer service for sending our own
      internal notifications around
    - Clean up the way we ensure that the correct edit commands are
      enabled by just installing our own onpopupshowing handler rather
      than using an additional notification to fix things up after the
      default handler runs
    - Get rid of a static initializer
    - Don't support older than Firefox 11
    - Fix some GError leaks
    - Hide the internal menu when creating a native menu, rather than
      waiting for confirmation that the native menu is registered
      successfully. We don't try to create a native menu if we don't
      find a menu service to register the menu with anyway
    - Keep menu contents updated whilst the menu is open, rather than
      just whilst it is opening
    - Fix LP: #915888 - Handling of checkbox menuitems with a command
      node is wrong
  * Refresh build-depends:
    - Bump minimum GTK version to 2.14 as we build with GIO support
    - Add minimum requirement for glib (2.18)
    - Drop libidl-dev, this doesn't appear to be needed now
    - Bump minimum NSPR version to 4.9.0 for --enable-system-nspr builds
    - Bump minimum sqlite version to 3.7.10 for --enable-system-sqlite
      builds
    - Bump minimum NSS version to 3.13.2 for --enable-system-nss builds
  * Refresh patches:
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu-ua-string-changes.patch
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu-codes-google.patch
    - update debian/patches/firefox-kde.patch
    - update debian/patches/mozilla-kde.patch
    - update debian/patches/dont-include-hyphenation-patterns.patch
  * Clean up the file exclude list and add comments for excluded files
    - update debian/build/create-tarball.py
  * Make it easy to run Firefox in valgrind for builds that are compiled
    with explicit valgrind support
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
  * Bump debhelper compat to 7
    - update debian/apport/blacklist.in
    - update debian/apport/source_firefox.py.in
    - update debian/compat
    - update debian/config/mozconfig.in
    - update debian/control.in
    - update debian/firefox-dev.install.in
    - update debian/firefox-dev.links.in
    - update debian/firefox-globalmenu.dirs.in
    - update debian/firefox-gnome-support.install.in
    - update debian/firefox.dirs.in
    - update debian/firefox.install.in
    - update debian/firefox.links.in
    - update debian/firefox.postinst.in

    - update debian/pkgconfig/mozilla-nspr.pc.in
    - update debian/pkgconfig/mozilla-plugin.pc.in

    - update debian/usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.10.04

    - update debian/usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.11.04
    - update debian/usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.9.10
  * Override 2 embedded-library lintian errors
    - update debian/firefox.lintian-overrides.in
  * Drop debian/patches/distro-locale-searchplugins after landing of
    bmo: #515232
  * Don't hardcode general.useragent.locale to en-US, now that it's used
    for searchplugin localization. This means we can drop this pref from
    ubufox
    - add debian/patches/dont-override-general-useragent-locale.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Drop patches fixed upstream
    - remove debian/patches/no-sps-profiler-on-unsupported-archs.patch
    - remove debian/patches/avoid-dbus-roundtrip-for-httpchannel.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Apport hook improvements:
    - Add support for reporting preference defaults that are set by extensions
    - When reporting preferences, record the source of each preference
    - Report plugin packages for plugins that are installed with the
      package manager
    - Add some addon manager related prefs to the whitelist
    - Display additional metadata in the extensions report
    - Take "default-to-compatible" in to account when determining whether
      the user is running incompatible addons
    - Attach submitted crash ID's to bug reports
    - Report if files in the profile folder have broken permissions
  * Update compare-locales to 0.9.5
  * Fix make-makefile test failure when the build directory contains
    perl regexp control characters
    - add debian/patches/make-makefile-test-fix.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Fix for NSS libs not being signed, breaking FIPS
    - update debian/rules

  [ Jamie Strandboge <email address hidden> ]
  * adjust apparmor profile to deny reads to @{PROC}/[0-9]*/net/dev. Patch
    thanks to James Troup (LP: #955066)
  * adjust apparmor profile to deny reads to @{PROC}/[0-9]*/net/wireless.

firefox (12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1) natty-security; urgency=low

  * New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1)
    - see LP: #987262 for USN information

  [ Chris Coulson ]
  * Update globalmenu-extension to 2.0.6
    - Add support for Firefox 12
    - Ensure we correctly hide dummy menu items
  * Make sure to add a binary libgconf2-4 dependency as dpkg-shlibdeps won't
    do this for us now
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/control{,.in}
  * Firefox recommends libcanberra0 now that bmo: #635918 has landed
    - update debian/control{,in}
  * Clean up search plugin installation now that we build our own
    language packs:
    - Drop the recursive symlink from /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins,
      which lintian kept complaining about
    - Don't effectively symlink distribution/searchplugins to searchplugins,
      as they have different layouts and this avoids the same data being
      iterated over twice
    - Revert to the upstream layout in distribution/searchplugins
      - add debian/firefox-locale.preinst.in, which will end up in all
        language packs to assist the symlink -> folder transition
      - update debian/firefox.dirs.in
      - update debian/firefox.install.in
      - update debian/firefox.links.in
      - update debian/firefox.preinst.in
      - update debian/patches/distro-locale-searchplugins.patch
      - update debian/rules
  * Fix LP: #894166 - Make Firefox work with our system hyphenation patterns,
    and stop including our own
    - update debian/vendor.js
    - add debian/patches/dont-include-hyphenation-patterns.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Fix LP: #807733 - Firefox doesn't restart after upgrades where the version
    changes. Don't include the version number in the install path, as Firefox
    cannot re-exec itself. In doing this, we also move the distribution.ini
    back in to our installation directory, as that never made sense in
    /usr/lib/firefox-addons
    - update debian/firefox-dev.install.in
    - update debian/firefox-dev.links.in
    - update debian/firefox-locale.preinst.in
    - update debian/firefox.lintian-overrides.in
    - update debian/firefox.preinst.in
    - update debian/rules
  * Expose distribution/extensions in /usr/lib/firefox-addons, to allow
    administrators to add extensions that they want to add to default user
    profiles, and that they want the addon manager to keep updated. We lost
    this functionality when upgrading from Firefox 3.6, due to the loss of
    /etc/firefox/profile
    - update debian/firefox.dirs.in
    - update debian/firefox.install.in
    - update debian/firefox.links.in
    - update debian/firefox.postinst.in
  * Refresh patches
    - update debian/patches/avoid-dbus-roundtrip-for-httpchannel.patch
    - update debian/patches/firefox-kde.patch
    - update debian/patches/mozilla-kde.patch
    - update debian/patches/no-sps-profiler-on-unsupported-archs.patch
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu-codes-google.patch
  * Massively simplify distro-locale-searchplugins.patch, as we don't need
    to swap the loading order of common / locale-specific searchplugin
    paths. $LIBDIR/distribution/searchplugins/common is no longer a symlink
    to $LIBDIR/searchplugins, so there is no need to have the ability for
    locale-specific plugins to override common ones. They already override
    those in $LIBDIR/searchplugins
    - update debian/patches/distro-locale-searchplugins.patch
  * Refresh locales
    - refresh debian/config/locales.all
    - refresh debian/control
  * Make the language packs Architecture: any. Whilst they are actually
    architecture independent, we do install them in to /usr/lib (as the
    extensions location is shared with architecture-specific extensions).
    This also avoids the problem of offering incompatible language pack
    upgrades to users on architectures where Firefox fails to build
    (I'm looking at you, powerpc)
    - update debian/control.langpacks
    - update debian/control.langpacks.unavail
    - update debian/rules
    - refresh debian/control
  * Disable fix-build-failure-without-yarr-jit.patch, as it needs some work.
    This means that there is currently no powerpc support

  [ Jamie Strandboge ]
  * debian/usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.*:
    - allow access to statm and smaps for about:memory (LP: #911494)
    - allow read access to files in /opt (LP: #728485)

firefox (11.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1) natty-security; urgency=low

  * New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_11_0_BUILD1)
    - see LP: #951250 for USN information

  * Update globalmenu-extension to 2.0.3
  * Ensure that the crash reporter is disabled if rebuilt by Ubuntu
    derivatives, as there will be no crash symbols for those
    - update debian/rules
  * Only add "Ubuntu" to the UA string when being built for Ubuntu
    - update debian/rules
  * Temporarily disable ipdl tests due to build failures. These aren't
    enabled upstream, anyway
    - update debian/config/mozconfig.in
  * Always set the update channel - not setting it at build-time on release
    builds breaks the extensions.checkCompatibility pref. The only things
    using it at runtime are nsBlocklistService, Test Pilot (beta + aurora)
    and the about dialog (where the channel is hidden anyway)
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/firefox.install.in
  * Fix LP: #898883 - IPC xpcshell tests hang the buildd's. Give all
    xpcshell tests an X display, as plugin-container won't work without one
    - update debian/build/testsuite.mk
  * Turn on all IPC xpcshell tests again
    - update debian/build/testsute.mk
  * Ship Test Pilot as a distribution addon, like upstream. This means
    that the addon manager can update it. It does also mean that it will
    remain installed in users profiles if they try the beta or aurora
    builds, but the Feedback button is disabled on release builds
    - update debian/firefox.install.in
    - fixes LP: #913357
  * Drop patches fixed upstream
    - remove debian/patches/fix-cursor-handling.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Call xvfb-run with "-a" in case there are other servers running on the
    builder
    - update debian/build/testsuite.mk
  * Really fix LP: #898883 - IPC xpcshell tests hang the build. What was
    actually happening is plugin-container would fail to start because all
    available X connections had been used up by many instances of dbus-launch,
    spawned each time an xpcshell tried to talk to the session bus. Because
    we run all of the xpcshell tests with one Xvfb instance, the buses
    accumulate until the available X connections all run out. To fix this, run
    all tests requiring a display inside dbus-launch, so we create just a
    single bus for all xpcshell tests
    - update debian/build/testsuite.mk
    - update debian/control{,.in}
  * Add Ligurian to locale blacklist, as we don't support this in Ubuntu
    - update debian/config/locales.blacklist
  * Refresh patches
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu-ua-string-changes.patch
    - update debian/patches/mozilla-kde.patch
    - update debian/patches/firefox-kde.patch
  * Fix LP: #915895 - Just set autoDisableScopes to 0. Other distributions
    are already doing this, and we already made this feature pretty much
    useless by allowing extensions in the application directory, so that our
    language packs aren't disabled by default
    - update debian/vendor.js
  * Drop the solid white separators from the addressbar autocomplete dropdown,
    and increase padding so that it doesn't look so bad with dark themes
    - add debian/patches/autocomplete-theme-tweak.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Fix LP: #926495 - Add patch based on one from bmo: #691898 to enable
    building on ppc again
    - add debian/patches/fix-build-failure-without-yarr-jit.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Fix LP: #926495 - Disable the SPS profiler on unsupported architectures
    - add debian/patches/no-sps-profiler-on-unsupported-archs.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
