Note that at least Fedora's update to firefox was to 16.0, not 16.0.1. See https://lwn.net/Articles/519422/.

16.0.1 has been pushed into the stable updates.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-15863

16.0.1 should show up soon on the external mirrors when they sync to the master stable repo.

Until then, should be available in the updates-testing tree right now for users who don't want to wait for mirrors to sync.

Apologies,
The correct link for the 16.0.1 update is this:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/firefox-16.0.1-1....

its in updates-testing push request to stable has been made.
