Disabled by choice because updates directly from mozilla.org to the firefox system binares are NOT going to work when applied to fedora builds. The updates mozilla.org offers only work when applied to binaries produced by mozilla.org. You do a rebuild with any patches or any different compiler options and you get a different binary...so whatever binary diffs mozilla.org hands you can not be applied correctly. I can not fathom how you can fail to understand the inherent limitations of a binary diff feature that binary diffs are only valid when applied to the specific binary they were generated against.
OK I wasn't sure if it was a binary diff or if selected files and bits of chrome were being replaced (I assumed the latter). I appreciate that a binary patch wouldn't work.
The update method is still a good one, would it be hard for Fedora to patch the in-house Firefox to use a Fedora server with the correct binary patches? Then Firefox could do whatever clever things it does to make sure that a user's extensions are still in order.
If you dont want to use the fedora built binaries you are free to uninstall the rpm and use the mozilla builds. Have fun.
I do sometimes use the Mozilla binaries but find it hard to remove the Fedora ones (I can't remember off the top of my head what dependencies keep them; some help browser).
