Not sure what repos I should have enabled but when i go to click "add' in the control center I get the following errors:

unable to add medium, errors reported:

The mirror you're using is either not up to date or being an rsync mirror is dropping you when to many connections are reached.
Try a different mirror.

I've tried different mirrors and I've managed to solve the tainted repos problem. However I cant for the life of me install Firefox-beta. I've enable additionallly core-updates_testing but always receive the following error: "No package named firefox-beta-22.0-0.b1.mga3.x86_64".
