This is a perpetual problem with Firefox and Fedora. The Red Hat developer
responsible for Firefox is good, but very very overworked. Firefox updates
are therefore never timely. There was some discussion on the advisory board
list today about how the community could help more, but in this case, since
it's a component of Core, and such an important component, it's astounding
and frustrating that Red Hat can't scrounge up the developer resources.
