I've done this before but would not recommend running this way. You could always try and compile it yourself on CentOS 5.x targeting this older version of the library.
So you're essentially stuck on this older version until Mozilla releases a newer version built with the older libraries support. Version 24 of Firefox will become ESR 24, and this version definitely will not run on CentOS 5.x (according to the testing I've done on 5.9). Mozilla will offer an Extended Support Release (ESR) based on an official release of Firefox for desktop for use by organizations including schools, universities, businesses and others who need extended support for mass deployments. ESR 17 was the last to work on CentOS 5.x so I wouldn't expect to go much further than this one. Firefox ESRsįirefox puts out what they call ESRs (Extended Service Releases) which typically have a wider target audience of distributions that they support.
This is typically the case with long term releases. Lower level libraries that Firefox depends on aren't being kept up to later enough versions that the newer versions of Firefox are being compiled against. You cannot run the later versions of Firefox on CentOS 5.x.
