Install Firefox

[Basanta Shrestha]

# yum install firefox on XO actually downloaded new set of packages listed
below and firefox now works

(1/9): firefox-17.0.1-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 25 MB 05:27
(2/9): nspr-4.9.6-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 94 kB 00:02
(3/9): nss-3.14.3-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 640 kB 00:17
(4/9): nss-softokn-3.14.3-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 210 kB 00:04
(5/9): nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 130 kB 00:01
(6/9): nss-sysinit-3.14.3-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 39 kB 00:00
(7/9): nss-tools-3.14.3-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 325 kB 00:04
(8/9): nss-util-3.14.3-1.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 53 kB 00:01
(9/9): xulrunner-17.0.1-3.fc17.armv7hl.rpm | 12 MB 02:29

Now, as a solution I am planning to reside these packages on the build
system and have olpc-os-builder install these packages during build time. I
do I accomplish this?
