  Hi felipe,
  
  This is not working for RHEL 5.3. You need RHEL 5.8 and Firefox 10 is your only option. Firefox 10 for RHEL 5.8 is Red Hat maintained package.

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

Hi JR,

I followed your step given above but I failed to update firefox in my CentOS 6.3 64bit, with the error result when trying ‘yum –enablerepo=remi list firefox’:

  Hi Daniel,
  
  You could try again if it was temporary down, because it returned 404.
  
  If you still have same problem then you can try following:
```
yum clean all

yum --enablerepo=remi list firefox
```
  If still no luck, then check, could you access following access directly:

Not so soon, because this version is released on 4-feb-2014 now is 11-mar-2014. After week or two they will release firefox 28.

  Hi again George,
  
  Just checked Remi’s forum and I found that the reason is the lack of time. So maybe next build is Firefox 28 then.
