My question is about how I get browse-url updates.

I just installed Fedora 21, which gives me Firefox 36,
and
GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5).

When I click on links in Emacs I get a new empty Firefox window.

So, I did a search and found this:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BrowseUrl

I copied the browse-url-firefox function and evaluated it
and that fixed the problem.

Now I'm wondering why I haven't seen an updated browse-url
package come through the normal Fedora update mechanisms.

Any ideas where the delay is?
