We normally would hold off until next week, but due to the public
exploit and this release already having slipped a few times, we are
planning to ship Firefox 1.5.0.10 and Firefox 2.0.0.2 on Friday 2/23 ~
9:00am PST.
Thunderbird will be released some time next week, along with a few
partner builds.
