Firefox 2.0 on Fedora Core 6

Note: As of today (November 30th 2006), for whatever reason Mozilla is not releasing a version of Firefox 2.0 that is compatible with FC6. That said, they are allowing an untested beta version to be installed. Here's how to get it...

1> Log in as root:

$ su root

2> Download and install it:
$ yum --enablerepo=development install firefox

3> Enjoy. I've been using it and it seems to work fine. Not sure about security issues but it does seem stable enough.
