yum install libstdc++.so.5
Even in rawhide this should get you the proper compat-libstdc++-33
package.
The older version of Firefox should actually be easy to package; just
take the current 2.0.0.12 package, remove or rename everything not in
/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.12, and tweak the renamed /usr/bin/firefox
script to call the right executable.

it.
