cannot upgrade from 6.02 to 7.0 on linux (browser direct from firefox)

I understand that you launched 7.0 yesterday. I updated my windows firefox ok, but when I try to update the firefox on my debian linux (firefox directly from Mozilla.com - not any linux distribution) then - Help-About Mozilla Firefox - says Firefox 6.0.2 is up to date.

How can I update, or will it just take some more time for your linux depo to be upgraded to 7.0?

We actually pulled back the update after spotting a potential problem that affects some users running certain add-ons. We'll resume with the update to 7.0.1 shortly, but if you really want to install right away, you can still get 7.0 directly from mozilla.org. Hope this helps.
