Can't upgrade to the latest repositories

Hi,
I just made a fresh installation of arch. After that I installed xorg and lxde as I want a fast environment to work.
Now I'm trying to install firefox, and I can't find firefox 4 in the repos. I have updated them with pacman -Syy, which upgraded core, extra, and community repos, however, when I look for firefox, I still get the old 3.6 release.
Also in the pacman.conf I have the [extra] repo enabled.
Anyone knows what might I be doing wrong or what could I post to help solve the issue?

Cheers!

Pick a fresh mirrorlist http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and run 'pacman -Syy' and try again.

Take a look to Reflector.

Ok, it was a problem with the mirrorlist, now I have the uptodate repo.
