Mozilla updates Thunderbird and Firefox, Apple Java and OS X Security updates

Mozilla has consolidated their Thunderbird and Firefox websites under mozilla.org and has upgraded both Firefox and Thunderbird to version 5.0. Apple has issued security updates to OS X and its version of Java.  I'm running Firefox 5 without issues on several systems, although my main system still has 3.6.18 because of the large number of extensions I use there.
