The "latest release" you are installing is using an installer built 
against a far-from-latest release of the C++ libraries.

# yum install compat-libstdc++-33

should fix that, but

# yum install firefox

would result in the official Fedora package of Firefox 1.0.6 being 
installed - what's wrong with that one?
