As of beta 2 the answer seems to be "no":

[dave at fold ~]# rpm -q firefox
firefox-1.5.0.8-1.el5.centos.1
[dave at fold ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.92 (Beta)

This was discussed extensively on the fedora list.  Red Hat will 
continue to provide updates to Firefox 1.5 as per their support 
agreement for RHEL.  RH *may* choose to upgrade RHEL 5 to Firefox 2.0 
but whatever version is the official version will be supported as long 
as the RHEL release is supported.

Cheers,
Dave
