Unfortunately, the release channel has been blocked for a while; I
failed to realize how much it is lagging behind the release branch.
Unless you wish to pull nix expressions directly from the release
branch, there's
not much else to do than wait for the channel to catch up. That is, the
updates are there, they are just not being disseminated, for reasons
unrelated to firefox specifically.
