from the firefox download site, and fc6.  Already installed and running here.  
Unpack it by cd'ing to where you want it, in this case /usr/lib,

Fix the links in your icons and bingo, ff-2.0.0.5 is installed and runs just 
fine.  Since it fixes an exploit, I am not waiting for the rpm experts 
to 'get around' to wrapping it in a package.
