OK -- after somebody pointed out that I needed rm -rf (which I'd've
sworn I'd tried before rmdir) and it worked, I got both
firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm
and
firefox-0.9.3-0.fdr.4.i386.rpm
from there as well as
firefox-0.9.1-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz
and
firefox-0.9.3-i686-linux-gtk2+xft-installer.tar.gz from mozilla.org.
I'd a lot rather use rpms than tarballs -- if I can. Now I'm wondering
about that "*.fdr.3.*" resp. "*.fdr.4.*" in those rpms. Are those release
numbers, or what? Is either of them going to work with FC1?? Or do I have
to go untar one of the tarballs and hope for the best?

Keep in mind that I know precious little of what I'm talking about.
