  * preferred plugins are now matched by pref filename it is just a substring
    of the plugins fullname/fullpath. Otherwise the plugin alternative config
    dialog cannot use the filename it gets from navigator.plugins[x].filename
    when plugin.expose_full_path is false.
    - update debian/patches/bzXXX_plugin_for_mimetype_pref.patch
  * fix LP: #269580 - ubufox fails to restart firefox on major version
    upgrades; new patch that makes toolkit/xre/ LaunchChild also try

    - add debian/patches/system_path_launch_child.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
