[Moved to bug 554950]

1) Why are you stacking completely unrelated patches in a single, confusing bug?

2) What does this patch change? It's just a dumb multilining but no functional change, from what I see.
Whilst it may be more interesting to do it on a patch-by-patch basis, I'd strongly suggest just doing one patch per app to bring it up to date in one go. As this bug only affects one Makefile.in just doing a one patch "bring it up to date by matching browser" feels a lot less work than doing multiple patches and figuring out which bugs go where.

I had started a patch for mail/locales/Makefile.in which also switched to use the l10n.mk, I can probably dig that out later.

Yes, that's it.

I don't work like that. But anyone else is free to.

Both "in the initial bug that was done by someone else" and "in another bug that merges unrelated stuff together" are not a good way to do things. One issue should have one bug and should have an explicit point where it can be marked FIXED as the specific issue it is about is resolved.

OK, then it should have a bug summary and description that tells about that.

That's unfortunate, as I won't review patches unless the bug report is clear to a single point and a good way to mark it FIXED once and for all at a certain point, ideally after one patch or a distinctive and clear series of patches is reviewed and applied.

This meta bug has outlived its usefulness, Thunderbird is very very close to the Firefox file, and SeaMonkey just finished its update (with some purposeful divergence) in Bug 554993, calling this fixed.
