You either have to use some buggy package from universe or use a PPA package. PS: A (not-so-expert) friend recently switched to F11 just to use the latest pidgin :-pI'm not here to bash Fedora. I like it. But I would add that Ubuntu ships Firefox 3.5 too, named Shiretoko to avoid conflicts and I-dont-know-whatelse. I would remind also that Fedora was released two months after the ubuntu stable release.
I have used shiretoko, but it has minor issues. For example I can't use the mplayer plugin with it, various websites refuse to recognize it as firefox. All minor, but issues nonetheless.
