Fedora Core 6 developers have decided against putting Firefox 2 in Fedora Core 6 so I thought I would share this tip how you can upgrade to Firefox 2 from Firefox 1.5 the easy way!

Open a terminal

Become a super-user by typing

Code:

su

Then type:

Code:

yum -y --enablerepo=development update firefox

and press enter!

It will download from the development repository FF2 - a download of around 21MB.

Thanks Zimbo.

After searching Fedora's site for over an hour looking for an easy way to do this, I finally Googled and this link came up as the second link.

Go to Google and type in without quote marks:
