Firefox-hg not updated in a while

Question

I have been using firefox-hg for quite a while, and have been happy with it.  Recently, I noticed that it has not updated, even though I update quite frequently.
It keeps failing, so I ran the install specifically and recieved the following output:
5:59PM % yaourt -S firefox-hg ~ (knute) pts/1

x firefox-hg-safe.desktop
x firefox.sh
x mozconfig

In which point did you think of actually fetching the sources?

The package seems to work fine without any code to fetch from Mercurial.
Erus: Thanks, I can try that out the next time I update.

It seems to have something to do with python, though, I don't have a clue what to do about it.  I have searched the forums, and found nothing regarding this issue.
I just checked my pacman.log and found that the last time it was upgraded was a month ago.
[2011-01-20 04:45] upgraded firefox-hg (60681-1 -> 60915-1)
Any ideas?

For installation issues with an AUR package, please use it's designated page instead of the forums: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17820
