The firefox rpm for i386 architecture is here:
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm
It is for FC2 and works like a charm (it even imports user settings...)
If you are using FC1 then I'd suggest taking the source rpm package
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/SRPMS.stable/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.src.rpm
and rebuild ( become root and run
# rpmbuild --rebuild /wherever/is/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.src.rpm )
if everything goes OK you will have a
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm
that you can install with the usual...
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/firefox-0.9.1-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm
(This last approach also works -mutatis mutandis- for x86_64
architecture)
Using nonrpm packages in an 'rpm' system like fedora is somewhat 'risky'
and error prone... :-\
Rgds.
