Comment 3 Dale James Thompson 2011-04-19 15:02:40 UTC

I've just received the comment from redhat technical support that firefox4 is possibly slated to be updated in rhel5.8. That really late. By then firefox6 will likely be out.

Is there a more current target that can be shared with the public about when firefox will be updated in rhel5.X?
