I should expect Firefox-esr to be maintained on Wheezy for the extended
life of Wheezy (coming as it does from the http://security.debian.org/
repository).
We Wheezy people no longer have any reason to keep mozilla.debian.net in
our sources.list (if I'm understanding this all correctly), as release
is no longer available. In fact, I believe it's making my little
gnome-updater thingamajig freak out.
