Added explanation about Thunderbird and SeaMonkey releases
==Root Cert Inclusions into Mozilla Product Releases==
In the following table, only those bugs involving root certificates are listed. A <b>bold</b> bug number is a "master" bug for the NSS version with following non-bold bug numbers pointing to bug reports for individual root certificates or groups of certificates and depending on that master bug. For a given NSS version, bug numbers after a blank line are not related to the group above that line.
[[Thunderbird/New_Release_and_Governance_Model#Releases|Thunderbird]] is built from two repos, the same "mozilla-central" that [[RapidRelease/Calendar#Future_branch_dates|Firefox ESR]] is built from, and "comm-central" for the Thunderbird-specific code. So, Thunderbird will have the same root store as ESR. ESR only picks up a new version of NSS (with the updates to the root store) when a new version (xx.0) is created. So, Thunderbird 45.0 and all of its dot releases will have the same root store as Firefox 45 / ESR 45 (NSS 3.21), unless there is a security incident.
SeaMonkey is also built out of comm-central and pulls mozilla-central as a starting point. Very much like Thunderbird except SeaMonkey uses the mozilla-release branch rather than the ESR branch. The SeaMonkey release should have the same NSS code and root certs as the corresponding [[RapidRelease/Calendar#Future_branch_dates|Firefox release]]. SeaMonkey often ships a week after Firefox.
