I just tried it my self. It does work.
You can download this Fedora 9 version (I actually use F10 version):
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/x86_64.newkey/os/Packages/libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386.rpm
and unpack only .libstdc++.so.6.0.10 file, symlink leave and put
libstdc++.so.6.0.10 file in folder where you unpacked firefox 5. Then in
same folder create symlink to libstdc++.so.6.0.10 file (name of the
symlink must be libstdc++.so.6), or rename libstdc++.so.6.0.10 to
libstdc++.so.6.
What I aditionaly did was to duplicate my Firefox profile
(/$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profile-name>) in same directory undeer the
different name and to add that profile to
/$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini (manual edit) and to set
StartWithLastProfile=0 in that same profiles.ini file so I am always
asked to select desired profile.
That way I will use new profile on Firefox 5, but will have old one for
use on Firefox 3.6.x if I am not happy with version 5.
