I have to admit some ignorance about different Linux distributions. However, I can copy and paste. ;-)

  • GTK+ 2.10 or higher
  • GLib 2.12 or higher
  • Pango 1.14 or higher
  • X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)

Fedora 8 is rather old as it was released way back in Nov 2007 according tohttp://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora so depending on how up to date that latest packages for it are it may be behind.

Note that for Firefox 42.0+ you will need GTK 3.4 or newer.
