Why cant apt get firefox 0.10


I have been trying to update firefox to the latest version (0.10 which has been out for a while now) using apt;
but it only ever finds 0.9.3-6.

I am i doing something wrong or has a debian (woody) package not been released for it yet.

Thanks

0.9.3-6 is the unstable version, newer versions are in experimental. 0.10 is in experimental now. Patience is a virtue or build them yourself

Just out of curiosity I've installed the package from mozilla.org and installed in /usr/local and it works just fine. It's build with xft so fonts are just fine.
