I just did. I am very confused. I download the firefox-2.0.tar.gz
Untared it and the readme.txt was one sentence. nothing useful.
There is no install**** anything.
Here's the install procedure:

1. Download firefox tar.gz
2. Unpack

That's it. Well, you could go further and put firefox in /usr/local (for
example), and set up symlinks or something to get firefox 2.0 to run (or
use the alternatives system to have both installed on your box).

Hope hat helps a bit!

Right ... it is not an RPM, and it is pre-compiled.

I put mine in /usr/lib/firefox-2.0 and did an ln -s
of /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox

I then copied the plugin in /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins
to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin and then removed /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins
and created a ln -s from /usr/lob/mozilla/pligins
to /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins.
Why did you move the plugin out of 2.0/plugin, then create a symbolic link back there??? This is not computing for me.
All seems OK on my 2 workstations I did that too, however I am not sure
everything is working 100% at this point.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
