Firefox 3.6.9 has been in updates-candidate since 9/8. While it's good to read here that 3.6.10 will be available soon, Mozilla identified "critical" security vulnerabilities in 3.6.7. Fedora should have provided Firefox 3.6.9 promptly to Fedora users. Releasing 3.6.9 and then working on 3.6.10 aren't mutually exclusive. My thanks to the user who reported this as a bug on 9/20.
