So - according to cnet:

For the first time Mozilla has set an euthanization date for the aged Firefox 3.6 browser - April 24, 2012.
It will be interesting to see what the CentOS folks decide to do. Even though CentOS 6 is out, many people - including all of us YDL 6 folks - are still using CentOS 5.
There is a CentOS Wiki entry about this:
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/Firefox4onCentOS5
With the release of Firefox 4 by mozilla.com, the version of libstdc++ in CentOS 5.x does not meet the requirements to run this version of Firefox. The error that you will get if you do a normal Firefox install is this:
<path_to>/firefox-bin: <path_to>/libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.9 not found (required by <path_to>/libxul.so)
This issue is described in this mozillazine forum entry (Firefox 4.0b9 and CentOS 5.5). The fixes below will work for Version 4.0 of Firefox and CentOS 5.6 as well.
Mozilla has decided that they will not fix issue as noted in their bugzilla (Bug 621704).
At some point we were generating stand-along builds of Firefox. I'll have to see if we can do something similar for YDL.
Cheers,
