Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: remove X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:firefox firefox:mipsel still exists in the archive, but is severely outdated and likely to have a very large number of security vulnerabilities. Newer versions of firefox do not build successfully on mipsel. I think it would be better for this package to be missing from mipsel altogether (the same as firefox-esr), rather than existing but being old and dangerous. It's also one of the few packages still depending on the transitional libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 package, which should be removed in trixie (ideally it should have been removed already in bookworm, but that didn't happen). Thanks, smcv
