Fedora core6

I have Fedora core 6 and can't figure out how to install Firefox version 3. I tried yum install firefox, but it just updates Firefox version 1.5. I downloaded the tar file from Firefox's site and untared it but I cant find a configure file.

I want to use FC9 but I have an old computer and didn't think it could handle it. Also, if I can run it, is there a way to upgrade from FC6, like running a yum command?

thanks owensleftfoot, that explains why i can't "install" firefox. However, this brings me to "plan b". Is there a way to upgrade from fedora core6 to fedora core 9 without making a DVD? For instance, can i download the .iso file and extract it somewhere in my fedora box, and run an upgrade?
