General rules for updates are that they are only for security bug
fixes, not to get new features. 

I think the best chance for getting firefox2 in dapper would be the
backports. There is a list of the packages released already here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper-backports/allpackages

firefox 2 isn't there and I have heard some discussion previously about
it saying that it is hard to backport as a lot of stuff depends on the
gecko engine.
