Version 10 is the ESR version. That is the Extended Support Release version explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Firefox#Extended_Support_Release And here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/ The release version should install version 18 which releases every few weeks. I forget if it is every six weeks or something close to that. > After that I tried to install the esr-version of thunderbird (there > does not seem to be a release version).

Released version (currently 18): deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release ESR version (currently 10esr): deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-esr Note the difference between iceweasel-esr and iceweasel-release in those /etc/apt/sources.list lines. Just the same as the firefox name is not allowed to be used so is thunderbird for the same reasons. You should look for the icedove named package. Bob
