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?
Ahh, wrong dir. Test xulrunner is here - http://people.redhat.com/stransky/rhel-5/
