Looks from the Useragent that you are using Firefox provided by Fedora rather than Mozilla.com. Fedora disable software update so they can distribute RPMs, hence you not being able to set the preferences.

Linux distros also munge the version string and apply their own patches, so it's possible that 1.5.0.4-1.2.fc5 is equivalent to 1.5.0.6. 

Regardless, you need to be asking Fedora about this.
