[SOLVED] Pacman installs old versions of Chrome/Firefox

I just tried to install Chrome and Firefox on a brand new installation of Arch. It turns out Pacman automatically installs Chrome 5 and Firefox 3.6. These are rather outdated versions. According to this page:

http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=arch

Chrome should be version 13 and FF version 5.

When I run pacman -Syu it tells me nothing to do either...

update your mirrorlist and use `pacman -Syyu`

You really need to do this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 69#p973869
Your mirrorlist is outdated, you need to get a fresh one.
