Description

[Julian Gorfajn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: 

The website specifies firefox is tested with rh70. I am running a plan rh73
setup which does not have this library. This library was added in rh8. The
website http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/system-requirements.html should
be updated to reflect the new requirement.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use a rh73 system
2. download firefox 0.9
3. try to install

Actual Results:  
./firefox-installer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
