1.5.0.7 and older has several potentially serious vulnerabilities -
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/ . I don't particularly want
firefox 2.0 in FreeBSD 6.2, I just want a firefox with no know
vulnerabilities (or even better, no firefox but I doubt other people
agrees with that :-) ).

ELEASE_6_2_0 is a tag, not a branch, so it's not possible to commit
changes to it.
