Ouch, didn't know that there were mirroring problems.

OK. However... this is still ridiculous, given the dates when CentOS has released FF updated packages:
firefox-3.0.6 = 04-Feb-2009
firefox-3.0.7 = 01-Apr-2009
firefox-3.0.9 = 23-Apr-2009
firefox-3.0.10 = 28-Apr-2009
5.3 LiveCD = 19-May-2009
Just updating 1 (one) package and regenerate the CD... how much would it have taken to test the result? Note that the updated package was part of CentOS 5.3 since April 28 already. (Sigh.)
All right, nothing would change now anyway. But it's still ridiculous to ship a FF issued in February 4!

R-C
