To download Firefox 2 I don't believe you will receive an update. Firefox 2 will be the first version that has the "major update" system available which will let you upgrade from previous versions. As far as I know this is not the same as the update system that is in Firefox 1.5 I’m not sure about your Internet Explorer problem because I have only heard about that happening with Firefox.
