I wish there was a FF1.5 RPM other than the one in Rawhide.. that one depends on so much new stuff it isn't even funny. I got it to run in an slightly more gentlemanly way than /usr/local:

- I downloaded and untarred the tgz from Mozilla.org;
- I renamed the unpacked directory from <where-I-unterred>/firefox to /usr/lib/firefox-1.5 - I edited the /usr/bin/firefox script and changed the MOZ_DIST_BIN variable to "/usr/lib/firefox-1.5"
- I ran it once as root, so it completes some chrome registry thingy

All the Fedora perks work now -- default icon, browser selection, GNOME associations etc.

If there's a better way, please advise.
