If you absolutely required a security fix, you could get the latest
nightly build from mozilla.org and run it from outside the system
directories.  If you always want the latest firefox you could build
the latest nightly from a source repository locally (takes about 90
minutes here on a not very powerful machine) and install it in
usr/local. Needs lots of development packages installed.

For integration and no worry, the fedora package is the way to go for
most people.  The issue here is rare in fedora in my experience (that
an exploit is revealed before fedora has it fixed in its repositories).
