Are you running your distro version or another downloaded version? The error is telling you that it cannot find libdbus-glib-1.so.2. Is the file there. I see it on in my OS. see screenshot
libdbus-glib-1-2 - GLib-based library for using D-Bus/usr/lib64/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 /usr/lib64/libdbus-glib-1.so.2.3.5 /usr/share/doc/packages/libdbus-glib-1-2 /usr/share/doc/packages/libdbus-glib-1-2/NEWS /usr/share/licenses/libdbus-glib-1-2 /usr/share/licenses/libdbus-glib-1-2/COPYING
Thank you, maybe switching distributions will work. What version of OpenSUSE are you running?
UPDATED: I get a similar error, but 3.5.19 is not 64bit. [5:15pm]> ./firefox-bin ./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It may have been, way back back in April 2011. https://website-archive.mozilla.org/www.mozilla.org/firefox_releasenotes/en-us/firefox/3.5.19/releasenotes/
It was not until Firefox 4.0 that there were 64-bit Firefox for Linux from Mozilla as it was 32-bit only before I believe.

Trying to get J2SE 1.3 and J2SE 5.0 working in the browser.
