for those with firefox-0.9 problems

The firefox rpm for i386 architecture is here:

http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm

It is for FC2 and works like a charm (it even imports user settings...)

If you are using FC1 then I'd suggest taking the source rpm package

http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/SRPMS.stable/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.src.rpm

and rebuild ( become root and run 

# rpmbuild --rebuild /wherever/is/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.src.rpm ) 

if everything goes OK you will have a

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm

that you can install with the usual...

rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm

(This last approach also works -mutatis mutandis- for x86_64
architecture)

Using nonrpm packages in an 'rpm' system like fedora is somewhat 'risky'
and error prone... :-\

Rgds.
