if you install it not from the stck and circumvent the install then your not testing the browser . do you see where i am coming from ?

Not wanting to do that isn't fear, its common sense. You want to make a newer version of firefox available for your users? Grab the src.rpm for current version, and edit it to build the new version to install an rpm. How will your users like it if the auto updater has a bug that you just ran as root, trashing your filesystem causing them to have loss of service while you figure out what went wrong?
