What, I wonder, made you think, I am expecting someone else to do the 
work? My question was quite agnostic of /who/ would do it, just /whether 
/it can/should be done...

If the fresh (February) release is still vulnerable, then, perhaps, it 
should stay buried... Can you give example of a still-open CVE? I'm 
staring at the list here 
<https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=452&product_id=7048>, 
but can't see, what's still open...

I understand the latter, but not the former. As long as gecko@ are not 
responsible for it, what's wrong with still using bsd.gecko.mk?

That said, if we're sticking to firefox and thunderbird /only/, maybe 
the two can be modified to share more components -- libxul.so in 
particular, but also others?.. At least then, running both on the same 
machine will still share the shared libraries saving RAM...

Thanks! Yours,
