It looks like the maintainer made a mistake and accidentally bumped
the version in the RPM wrong, so Firefox 23 did get released at the
same time, but rpm thought it was Firefox 22.  I imagine the Firefox
maintainers a few scripts so they can get updates out really fast, but
this time they (or it) tripped up and pass a wrong argument to them or
something.  Us package maintainers are human too.  ;-)

A tester caught it four whole hours after the update was submitted,
and three hours after that it was fixed (most of which was probably
spent waiting for it to build ;-).  This didn't even delay it from
making the day's updates-testing push.
