Quick questions about yum update

I did 'yum update firefox' and it works fine. The question I have is why does it only update firefox to 1.07? Why doesn't it grab the latest and greatest? will it be the same case for other packages?

How do you update to firefox 1.5.0.1 using yum for example?

Do a search on the Forum for Firefox 1.5 and you'll find a ton of threads about this one. Plenty of options if you want it, but not a simple 'yum update'.
