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. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
