I am trying to install Firefox on my Linux PC.I have

Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)

Kernel 2.4.18-14bigmem on an i686

Installed with 128 M Ram and pleny of disk space.

These are the listed requirements for Firefox

I downloaded the Firefox installer for Linux. When running the installer 
I got an error message while the installer reached this point: 
Extracting libplc4.so...
Then I got an alert box that said this :
Fatal Error [-618]: Couldn't open xpistub library
The terminal session from which I launched the installer had this error:

[root@localhost firefox-installer]# bash firefox-installer

[root@localhost firefox-installer]# bash firefox-installer
DLError: /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found 
(required by ./libnspr4.so)^[[2~

Can anyone point me to what I need to do. I am not sure where 
GLIBC_2.3.2 should be at or what version that I have or what it would 
take to update if needed.

Thank You,
