Hi, I was wondering what the easiest or best way to install Firefox 2.0 is. I'm running Fedora 5.
Thanks

This may not be the recommended method, but I simply downloaded Firefox 2.0 from the Mozilla site, installed it under /opt/firefox-2.0, and symlinked /opt/firefox-2.0/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox. Working great for me.
