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
