Red Hat isn't the upstream for Firefox.

The firefox in F11 preview was firefox-3.1-0.11.beta3.fc11.  The one
currently in rawhide is firefox-3.5-0.20.beta4.fc11.  Mozilla itself
changed the version from 3.1 to 3.5, but the planned contents didn't.
See
https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2009/03/05/firefox-31-may-become-firefox-35/

The update was to a /more/ stable version, a later beta release with
more fixes.

Attack if you want, but please be sure to have the facts straight.
