People refer to "Mozilla Firefox" just in short "Mozilla".

They all have own software repositories, where they have a copy of pidgin.
It is just, that they did not yet update to pidgin version 2.10.0 but
have the older 2.9.0. (judgung by the web page

So the solution is to wait until RedHat gets the new version, when it wil probably be automatically updated on your PC.
