As it's a binary rpm, ported specifically to YDL, and youve already downloaded it, all you do is, as root :- 
 go to where it is (I usually put manually downloaded RPMs in /opt)
"rpm -ivh firefox-0.8-1-dag.ppc.rpm"

Here's hoping you don't get dependency problems. Write back if you get complaints.

Now somebody else can tell you how you set it to be your default browser, 'cos I don't know how to do that :-)
