Red Hat 9 is really old and unsupported now. As such, you should consider using a newer distro (Fedora Core is similar). You may have problems trying to install Firefox because of how old it is and the old versions of packages it contains. For info, the software requirements for Firefox (from the Mozilla site) are as follows:

Linux kernel - 2.2.14 or higher with the following libraries or packages:

* glibc 2.3.2 or higher
* XFree86-3.3.6 or higher
* gtk+2.0 or higher
* fontconfig (also known as xft)
* libstdc++5

I'm not sure which versions of these packages Red Hat 9 has in it, but you can check.

Look at the link below for more info. It's for Red Hat 8, but I think it's relevant to your problems.
