So has anyone actually got FF 5 working OK on CentOS 5.6 i686 32 bit yet?

If so, is it actually worth taking the trouble to upgrade to FF 5, and what is the recommended way to do this upgrade please?

it seems to work fine here. Just get the binary from mozilla and put in the same directory the libstdc++.so.6.0.10 from fedora.

Daniel.

I just tried it my self. It does work.

You can download this Fedora 9 version (I actually use F10 version): ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/x86_64.newkey/os/Packages/libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386.rpm and unpack only .libstdc++.so.6.0.10 file, symlink leave and put libstdc++.so.6.0.10 file in folder where you unpacked firefox 5. Then in same folder create symlink to libstdc++.so.6.0.10 file (name of the symlink must be libstdc++.so.6), or rename libstdc++.so.6.0.10 to libstdc++.so.6.

What I aditionaly did was to duplicate my Firefox profile (/$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profile-name>) in same directory undeer the different name and to add that profile to /$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini (manual edit) and to set StartWithLastProfile=0 in that same profiles.ini file so I am always asked to select desired profile.

That way I will use new profile on Firefox 5, but will have old one for use on Firefox 3.6.x if I am not happy with version 5.
