-->Doc: Mozilla Developer?

Definetely not an issue with Mozilla's Help Documentation.

I believe that this started with the nightly build 2003120809 of
mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz, but it also happened with the next
nightly build.  I too am using Fedora.

I was able to get it to work by installing
compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm

So it seems that all of a sudden Mozilla wants an older version of libstdc++.

This bug is now fixed as per the following message from Asa Dotzler:
"The original Linux 1.6 Beta builds were built with the wrong compiler
and are incompatible with some plugins and extensions. The builds have
been replaced as of 01:00 UTC on December 11. To distinguish the builds,
type about:buildconfig in the addressbar and look in the "Build tools"
section, next to the line starting with "c++". The old, incorrect build
will say "gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)". The
new, correct build will say "gcc version 3.2.3" (just as it does on the
previous line)."

I have tried the new build, and it works on Fedora even when I delete
the compat-libstdc++ rpm.
