[SOLVED] Updating Firefox

So I am new to Mageia, trying it out instead of my ususal Mint, but the new release has an old version of Firefox. How do I update it?

Thanks!

Please retriever, mark the topic solved, if so. ;)

You can do this by editing the title/subject of the first message in the topic.
Place [SOLVED] in front of it, and you're done. :)

firefox-beta and firefox-aurora are only available from the cauldron repo's. They show up in rpmdrake as available for Mageia 3, but they do not exist on the mirrors. I think that the hdlists were not updated when those packages were removed at the time that Mageia 3 was forked from cauldron.
