The firefox crippling is the result of %patch25-29 in the src.rpm:

removes the functionality which allows to update extensions with

There exists a better patch for the first issue (which disables only
the capability to upgrade the application but still allows to update
extensions) but it is silently ignored by the firefox maintainer.
That'd be: <

To be a little more fair to the RH firefox maintainer, he's waiting for a
better-designed updates infrastructure from the upstream project. But I
think that's a bit over-optimistic and would really appreciate it if the
less-intrusive replacement patch were swapped in in the meantime.
