Hi,

I'am running FC4 with Firefox 1.0.8 and thunderbird 1.0.7-1.1.FC4. I would like to update. Is it possible to have the latest on FC4. If not apart from having FC5 what other alternatives do I have. Where do I go and see all the repositories available for FC4 and FC5. Please help. Iam new to linux

You can download them from Mozilla website, then build the RPMs by yourself. See this site: http://fedoranews.org/tchung/. This is specially needed for localized FF versions (for example, i had to build my RPMs for Firefox and Thunderbird in spanish, since no site have updated RPMs in languages other than english)

Also, if you want to update FF1.5 (using the now-working autoupdate), you must run FF as root for do the update. Let it download the updates, restart for install them, and you're ready!
