It's a long-running problem. I haven't been able to install from
Mozilla repos in what seems like a year. I don't know if anyone is
able to install from their repos from App Manager. Maybe if someone
can we can figure out what is different about their setup.

Only solution for me is to download the deb file and install with dpkg.

Just a quick search of term "N900" shows many related bugs, there are
probably others I didn't notice:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565709
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591605

I really wish someone could figure it out. I don't know why Mozilla
can't get a repo working for one of the most high-profile N900 apps,
but everyone else doesn't seem to have any problems setting up working
repos.

I would /love/ to be able to auto-update Fennec nightlies from app manager.
