I noticed mozilla are copying fedora in encouraging/forcing users to
upgrade: they'll stop support (including security fixes) for firefox 1.5
in April next year [1].

Which begs the question: will all the possible security exploits be
found and fixed in the next 6 months?

BTW, the firefox 2 roadmap says: "Firefox 1.5 and 2 are compatible from
a web developer's point of view. New APIs may be added, but existing
ones should not be removed." [2]

So if hot-keys worked in firefox 1.5 but not in 2.0 you could file it as
a bug?
