    If Firefox really is that important (didn't you have a working browser),
    you could have search for the rpms just a little. They are there all
    right. rpmfind didn't show any hits but Google found about 450 hits, many
    of which seem to lead to rpms. Or, get a Cooker source rpm and rebuild
    when you get that anxious to get something right now.
