Package: firefox
Severity: important
Dear Maintainers,
Since april 20th, the firefox package is stuck at version 52 (precisely
53.0.is.52.0.2-1) in Sid.
Usually each versions are well packaged 1 or 2 days after the official release
but for this one, it is still on 52.
Seeing the changelog, I can see "The "oops, I uploaded 53 to unstable instead
of experimental" release.".
Why ? It is not released on experimental yet and stable releases are usually
packaged for Sid not experimental.
Where is firefox 53 ?
Cheers,

It's in experimental, but can't build thanks to bug #859912.
Because version 54 will require rust and a version of cargo that is not
in unstable, it won't be possible to build 54 and newer versions in
unstable during the Debian freeze. As such, upgrading to 53 now in
unstable would mean not being able to provide security updates to
unstable going forward, and being stuck with 53 for an unknown amount of
time. All in all, it's better to be stuck on 52, with the ESR fixes
applied.
