Yum update should install only stable releases of firefox

Hi guys

I was on firefox 5 and I wanted to update to the latest version of firefox. I followed the below steps

I downloaded the RPM-GPG-KEY-remi (http://code.google.com/p/syslogserve...M-GPG-KEY-remi)
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-remi

I downloaded remi-release-14-6.fc14.remi.noarch.rpm (http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat...oarch.rpm.html)
yum install remi-release-14-6.fc14.remi.noarch.rpm

installation went fine.

yum --enablerepo=remi update firefox

Firefox was updated to the latest version (ver12).

It also gave me a warning that I should use only stable firefox releases. Now how can I make the yum to install only the stable release of firefox when it does the update? Is it possible to do?

From memory, the warning is from Remi's repository making sure that you don't complain to Fedora if the version of Firefox from Remi doesn't work. (Version 12.0 is the latest stable version of Firefox at the time I'm writing this.)
