firefox update to 1.5.0.2 possible?

Let's recap. It sounds like Mozilla's updates are binary patches which 
won't work on Fedora's builds. It sounds like it's not a worthwhile task 
for Fedora to replicate Mozilla's efforts to provide updates...

When I update from Mozilla, it checks compatability of installed third 
party extensions. That's part of the value of the Mozilla update that 
you miss out on if you use rpm updates. In a worst case scenario I might 
use an rpm update and find that my 3rd party extensions have stopped 
working.

I'll ask again, is there a way to provide a smooth transition from the 
default Fedora Firefox to a Mozilla self updating one? The reason I'm 
asking is because I imagine a significant number of users might want to 
do that.
