<p>Where do you read that?</p>
<p>I think the Palemoon/Fossamail project is staffed only by a few
people who might maintain their fork of Gecko in a compilable
state. I got to know one of them when I was working on some
Gecko spell checker issues. I highly doubt that they retrofit
any Gecko fixes other than security relevant things or bustage
fixes.<br>

... and as mentioned in earlier threads where maintaining a Gecko
fork was discussed - I don't think maintaining a secure Gecko fork
is likely successful for more than maybe a year or two, even if
there was a good size team doing it. Fossamail seem to now be at
Thunderbird ~ v24 so security holes ahoy.<br>
