Just as a side note, a few third party repos provide FF2 rpms for older
Fedora releases. I used this one with FC6 for a while before updating to
Fedora7, and it was flawless.

For FC6 just
> wget http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/remi-release-6.rpm
> rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm
and then
> yum update
should bring in FF2 for you (agmonst other things)
if you would rather not enable this repo by default all the time, then
turn if off in the repo file and enable at the command line, e.g.
> yun update firefox* --enablerepo=remi
