Could use alot more information.
What version of Linux are you using?
I have no idea what FX is?
What are the persmissionson the file you are trying to execute?

If I remember correctly, FC3 lets you right-click to get a Terminal window?
If not, it should be in Applications/Accessories, I think...

Open terminal, then:

Type "su" (hit enter).
Put in your root password that you picked during the install.
Type "yum update firefox" (hit enter).
Say yes to any dependencies/keys it wants to get.

That should update to whatever happens to in the stable FC3 repository.
