Hi Alex,

I don't know what "visualization bug" means.  I see this:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=mozilla-firefox
Debian Bug report logs: package mozilla-firefox

Scroll down that page, way down that page, to this:

So, I believe your thunderbird bug is correctly marked Grave, while this
one for firefox "Will be archived."  A close reading does show the
vulnerability in 1.0.4*, but it's too easy to miss, and in 18 days it's
gone for anyone looking to see problems in sarge on firefox.

There has yet to be a DSA on this for sarge.

Regards,
Ralph
