I know that Thunderbird/Firefox 10.0.8 ESR have only just been
released but they are superceded by 10.0.9 from Mozilla.

Confusingly Red Hat have numbered the updates 10.0.8-2 rather
han 10.0.9 (perhaps because there is no change to firefox).

Can I expect Scientific Linux to ship these soon ?

Thanks,
