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.

Well, this doesn't look like a terribly difficult project.  Have at
it.
