Ok..you're still missing dependencies. As it says above, in your error message, you're missing nspr and nss, or they're older than the versions stated. Upgrade those packages.

Thank you for the help.

Now i have installed nspr and nss also.
I could able to install firefox without any error.
However, i am still getting an error while launching the firefox. Here is the error also at the end i have posted pango-querymodules output as asked by the error below, may you please let me know what can be the reason.

************error
[manish.garg@isdwks0034 ~]$ firefox

loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
'/usr/evolution28/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You should create this file by running pango-querymodules.

How about reading your error messages....it says above:

Have you done it?

Hi,

I have tried the pango-querymodules-64, the output is shown at the end of my last post, same is shown below. Is it giving any clue? Thank you for the help.

Have you tried Firefox after you've run this??

And why post messages, and ask someone else to interpret them for you? If you're confused or stuck, that's one thing, but saying "here's what it said, what does it mean?", when you don't say if you've even got an error, is another.

Read your error messages, do what they say.

I came across the last part of this problem during an install of Redhat Enterprise Linux 4
I installed the firefox package 3.0.1 provided on the install disks and it would not load. When i ran it from a terminal session it would not load but gave me the pango.modules error
To fix the problem i ran the /usr/bin/pango-querymodules-32 to create the modules file but then i had to copy the file to where firefox was looking for it
ie
cp /etc/pango/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules /usr/evolution28/etc/pango/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/.
firefox worked after this
