Bug Description
Firefox 120+ requires rustc 1.70 and cargo 0.71 to build¹².
The beta phase for Firefox 120.0 begins on 2023-10-23 and release candidates will be available from 2023-11-13.
Eventually Thunderbird will need an updated rust toolchain as well.
We will need these in all supported releases of Ubuntu: focal, jammy, lunar.

Rust toolchain upgrades are usually relatively safe from a FTBFS point of view, since new releases are subjected to a crater run, crater being a tool that compiles the entirety of the crates.io packages.

Note that in Ubuntu, since Rust 1.68, we have unified Rust packages with rustc and cargo sharing the same version number from the upstream.
