Actually, that may not be the best idea as the version in unstable 
probably depends on libc6 2.3.1 which is having issues right now and 
could possibly break your system(then again it may work perfectly...). 
As for when a stable version will be available, it will as others have 
said never be in Woody, but Adrian Bunk backports packages including 
mozilla to Woody at <http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/packages/>. Though he 
only has 1.1 right now, it is possible that in the next couple weeks he 
will update to 1.2.1 though I am only guessing.
