Firefox 7 on Fedora 14
 

Is it possible to have Firefox continually updated by rpm on a Fedora 14
system, or do I have to choose between staying on Fedora 3 or using
tarball installs?

You can use the REMI repo for the latest Firefox :

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-14.rpm

After that you can run:
yum update firefox

I'm on Fedora 14 and that's what I've been using so far.

HTH,
Jorge

It is already available on F14. I am running it. That happened when I
opened Firefox and I was asked if I wanted to update to Firefox 7.

Ugh. I installed this for F13, and apparently, I needed
adobe support - the problem is, that adobe believes that
firefox is a ubuntu installation.

What can I do at this point?

What I was trying to view is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK0O30aFT7g&feature=email
... and FF says it needs a plugin which it cannot find.

so why do you not install the adobe-repo and after that "yum install flash-plugin"
in the meantime there is even a x86_64 plugin and yes it works on F14 also as on F15

Hmmm try to remove that one as it was for Fedora 14:

rpm -e firefox
rpm -e remi-release-14

Try this one instead for F13:

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-13.rpm

I also have the Adobe repo so I have the latest flash (version 11) which
is so far the best release from them in my opinion.

HTH,
Jorge

Go here:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

...and select Linux 32-bit or 64-bit and then choose the YUM option so
you can download the rpm that will create their YUM repo on your system.
Then you should get their updates as soon as they come.

Cheers,
Jorge
