Besides I have seen an anoucement, even if I cannot find it currently, that support for firefox-1.5 series will end in not so distant future (April?) and backpatching those browsers is really hard and does not really buy much beyond headaches. In other words you can expect newer versions of Firefox soon. OTOH FC5 still has mozilla with known security issues ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195318 ) so maybe I am too optimistic here.
