Just a note when you guys upgrade. If you want to use Mozilla Firebird, 
you can't use the one from the standard download link off the mozilla 
pages, you need to get the gtk2+xft version here: 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/releases/0.7/MozillaFirebird-0.7-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz
