It seems that who made the rpm did not disable cairo and pango which are
not present on FC4. I just got the firefox-1.5 srpm from rawhide,
removed cairo and pango in the config file, in the specfile I removed
the cairo and pango (Build)Requires and changed the nspr and nss stuff
into mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nss with the proper versions. Rebuild,
install and enjoy. I tried rebuilding on x86_64 but that failed so I
built it on an x86 box (32 bit) and installed it on my x86_64. The
upside is that you can use java, flash etc. which don't work on 64 bit
versions of firefox.
