Install Firefox

[Basanta Shrestha]

Adding fedora=fedora_update and rebuilding didn't work.

Jerry, As you suggested it installed all the required newer
firefox,xulrunner and nss... packages but the resulting image couldn't boot
the XO. Now I am going for your second suggestion. I have created a local
repo for firefox, xulrunner and other dependencies( 9 altogether) . Could
you please check if the entries are right?

/root/local/.repo

------------------
[local]
name=firefox-xulrunner local
baseurl=file:///root/local/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
------------------

 olpc-os-12.1.0-xo1.75.ini

Right below [repos] section

----------------------
[custom_repo]
local=1,firefox,file:///root/local/
----------------------
