Can I use one out of the Fedora's repos? If so, which repo?
You can just pull down the latest version from mozilla.org - they're pretty good about compatibility. I'd try it out in a different install directory, though, just to be sure, but you can always uninstall it and re-load the release version if it doesn't work right for you.
I chose not to uninstall the distributed one. I unpackaed the 3.0rc1 tarball in the $HOME of a user and run it from there.
]$ ls -l bin/firefox lrwxrwxrwx 1 hardtolove hardtolove 32 May 21 13:07 bin/firefox -> /home/hardtolove/firefox/firefox
Then, modify PATH assignment in ~/.bash_profile to something like this
$ echo $PATH /home/hardtolove/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
This lets all other users get the box-stock version while I test the new one. So far it's looking pretty good.
