Universal Firefox Update

We Peters have managed to get Firefox to run from the stick(tentatively!) on Linux(Fedora 8 vmare) .  We seem to have the basic Linux script working fine, but are getting an error from the Firefox binary about LIBSTDC++ 5,  which is the Standard C++ library.  We haven’t figured out the WHY yet, but have managed to install the package and get Firefox running from the stick, using the Universal profile .  The Fedora8 vware image I have at home has LIBSTDC++6 installed, which is apparently good enough for the base Firefox to use, but not for the stick version,  so we have to figure out what is going on.   The same problem happened at Seneca on Friday, and the YUM update worked, but our script was not working then, so we couldn’t get confirmation.  Hopefully, more good news to follow…
