These updated firefox packages also fixes the following bug :

  - Prior to this update, some Java applets would fail to
    load in the 3.6.14 version of Firefox. In this
    newly-released version (Firefox 3.6.15), Java applets no
    longer fail to load. (BZ#682251, BZ#682252, BZ#682253)

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes
to take effect."
