Today when I visited <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/</a>, I was greeted by a message<br>
that my browser will be unsupported soon, and my browser was the current<br>
Iceweasel 3 version from Debian Lenny.<br>
<br>
The earliest Firefox version to be supported is Firefox 3.6.<br>
I quickly browsed <a href="http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php" target="_blank">http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php</a> (the Debian<br>
Backports), and found that Firefox 3.5.6 was backported to Debian Lenny<br>
as Iceweasel 3.5.6. So I installed it to ease future upgrade to<br>
Iceweasel 3.6 once it is available.<br>
<br>
So now I hope that someone will backport and create Iceweasel 3.6 before<br>
YouTube cuts off all support for non-HTML5-compliant browsers.<br>
Otherwise, I may have to install Firefox 3.6 not as a Debian package.<br>
<br>
--- Omer<br>
P.S.: the upgrade is only semi-forced because YouTube is a Nice To Have<br>
rather than Essential.<br>
