For Debian stable, I expect Firefox and Thunderbird to move to the 102 branch after the next Bullseye point release, scheduled for September 10[1]. To build them, at least rustc 1.59 is needed, and Bullseye currently only has version 1.51 (packaged as rustc-mozilla). Cheers, Sven 1. https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2022/08/msg00006.html
