If you want 3.6, which is not customized to F12, you'll have to download it from Mozilla.com and install. Someone suggest using the Rawhide repository which contains 3.6. Don't!!! I did that a few Fedora versions ago, and yum installed dependencies that were incompatible with my current version. Ended up having to completely reinstall. I suggest that if you want 3.6, after downloading the rpm from Mozilla, that you install it using 'yum localinstall <pathtorpm>' WITHOUT the -y (yes) option to see what any dependencies, if any, yum pulls. That way you can safely decide whether to install 3.6.
