ISSUE: How to install Firefox 2.0
---------------------------------
For a variety of reasons, we are not planning to update to Firefox
2.0. We are instead focusing resources on Firefox 3.0, which will
provide much more substantial benefits. We understand that some
users will be willing to accept the risk of running Firefox 2.0 to
gain compatibility with new extensions (e.g., Zotero and
Halfnote). We have made available an experimental version of
Firefox 2.0. However, we must stress that we believe the best
experience for Fedora users will be to stay with Firefox 1.5 and
wait for the  Firefox 3.0 update. The experimental development
version is available here:

Alternatively, it might make more sense to point users to the parallel
install package submitted for review for inclusion in EXTRAS:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211807

Having FF2.0 coexist with FF1.5 would make it easier for users to
safely evaluate whether FF2.0 is ready to meet their needs (e.g., is
compatibible with their favorite extensions).

See also this bug that tracks the general issue of best recommendation
to give users wishing to install Firefox 2.0 on Fedora Core 6.:
