I know there are a few third party repos already set up for this, but 
honestly, I very strongly recommend that people would just get their 
pre-release builds directly from Mozilla in exactly the way you 
describe.  As we're talking about pre-release software, it would be most 
beneficial for both Fedora and Mozilla if you participated in the 
pre-release process using the official nightlies and reporting bugs you 
encounter to Mozilla.
