Rémi Collet has made a backport of Firefox 2 to FC4 (i386), FC5 (i386) and FC6
(i386 and x86_64):
http://remi.collet.free.fr/index.php?2006/10/25/225-firefox-20-1
(If you're on another architecture/distro combination than those listed, you'll
have to rebuild from the SRPMs: http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/SRPMS/ .)
These packages replace the Firefox 1.5 (or 1.0 for FC4) packages. Thus, on FC6,
you'll also need the rebuilt reverse dependencies (packages depending on
Firefox) if you use any of them or rebuild them yourself from the Fedora SRPMs,
because packages using Firefox as their Gecko runtime engine only work with the
version of Firefox they were built against. (On FC4 and FC5, these packages are
built against Mozilla 1.7, so updating Firefox doesn't require rebuilds there.)
