and it still reads, to me, as if the problem is in (mozilla and) firefox, *not* in M$. Am I missing something, or is this infelicitous wording in the alert, or what? yum update firefox still doesn't get 1.5 -- i.e., 1.5 seems not to be on the repos ....
I dnloaded firefox 1.5.1 tar.gz several weeks ago, and just stuck it in a directory and created a link /usr/bin/firefox pointing to my directory in /usr/share where i unpacked it and installed it to... works great. I was impatient waiting for an rpm update... so I handled it. <g> Make sure to rpm -e your old firefox packages, which didn't seem to erase my personal files. The newer firefox is also seems to run faster. I like it, plus I can use the newer extensions to adblock and do other nifty stuff. Ric
