You should use the packages provided by the repos.
Grab a fresh mirrorlist http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ , run 'pacman -Syyu' and try again.

Re: [solved] no firefox 5 in repo

i did this and it gave me the correct version of firefox but now lxpanel will not autostart when i login.
my ~/.xinitrc includes exec ck-launch-session and startlxde but it does nto work. I copied the required xml files to ~/.config/openbox. what did i mess up with this update?
