Ugh, updating from development (Rawhide) isn't that great an idea (you'll have 
to fetch several packages which depend on Firefox from development too, and 
this could potentially draw in plenty of unstable packages).

Rémi Collet has backported Firefox 2 from Rawhide to FC6 and rebuilt the FC6 
packages which depend on Firefox for it (the FC6 versions, not the Rawhide 
ones).

Here's the latest version:

There's also a parallel-installable firefox2 by Gawain Lynch and Thorsten 
Leemhuis:

The advantage is that you don't have to update the other packages which depend 
on Firefox, but that's also its drawback (they'll still use the Firefox 1.5 
rendering engine). However, if you want to try out Firefox 2 while still 
keeping 1.5 as an option, this is the way to go. If you want to use 2.0 
everywhere, use Rémi Collet's build.
