    Are there no *trunk* builds for Firefox & Thunderbird since 2005-11-20,
    or did the update mechanism break in that build?
    Selecting "Help / Check for Updates" yields "there are no new updates
    available". The FTP directories(1&2) still seem to have current
    versions. :-\
    Has MoFo stopped offering trunk nightlies to "encourage" us to test the RCs?

    Some combination of the two.

    Has MoFo stopped offering trunk nightlies to "encourage" us to test the RCs?

    No, it just broke. However, fixing probably isn't the priority it might be
    if they weren't in the middle of getting the release out. It's been
    discussed on the web forums and this blog entry has info

    I read that blog, but it mentions *branch* where I'm using th *trunk*.
    Come to think of it, if the branch updates are broken, wouldn't that
    also affect the *very* soon to come Firefox 1.5?

    Anyhow, thanks for the reply. I'll manually update until the problem is
    fixed (assuming "manual" means downloading from FTP and running
    setup.exe)

    Bonsai [1] says that there's only been one checkin to MZILLA_1_8_BRANCH
    in the last week, so it wouldn't be much of an issue (though the checkin
    is important for that locale).
