As I said I know why it was saying that, and I did say that I had my mozilla 
repo set lower than the update repo.  Just one would think that version number 
would be taken into consideration so if version installed is newer than 
version in the update repo then the update will be ignored.  How would it be a 
bug for the update system to compare version installed verses version patch, 
this only makes sense I just figured I should say something about this that is 
all.
