At the moment, upgrading the version of mozilla in testing is waiting
until the following release-critical bugs are fixed or downgraded:

  http://bugs.debian.org/203100
  http://bugs.debian.org/203962

For more information about how packages are selected for inclusion in
testing, see http://www.debian.org/devel/testing.

Um, I think you're mistaken here. Packages don't get downgraded in
testing. I don't believe testing has ever had mozilla 1.3.
