Re: [CentOS] Firefox 7 on CentOS 5

Anyone have any luck running updated Firefox on CentOS 5? We have CentOS 5 workstations and need to update their Firefox but it dumps core even when using the libstdc++ from Fedora 9.

I would like anything stable and secure beyond Firefox 3 but can't find tarballs for anything other than 7.0.1.

CentOS 5.5 i386 w/ updates firefox-7.0.1.tar.bz2 libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386.rpm from Fedora 9

Yes, this combination works fine here. Except, I'm using it on 5.7 with the x86_64 version of everything. Make sure to rename the stdc++ library to libstdc++.so.6 and drop it into the top firefox installation directory where the binary and the bulk of the .so libs live.
