Thanks David.
I added /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-released.repo.
Then per your suggestion,
[root at moe yum.repos.d]# yum update firefox
Repository updates-released already added, not adding again
Setting up Update Process
And it downloaded firefox-1.0.4.
Now the question is, if updates-released was already there, why didn't
it work?
Thanks,
Mike
