It would be useful to contact
pkg-mozilla-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mozilla-maintainers/)
We try hard not to break compatibility, but since there are lots
of extensions out there that make use of some corner case apis, it might
happen from time to time that some random extension breaks, especially
if those extensions make use of internal, not public interfaces.
Anyway, best would be if you can provide feedback *before* we release.
I usually announce RC security builds well ahead of release on my
site and on mailing list mentioned above.
