The version of Xandros Linux (from early 2007) that Asus was using on the EeePC doesn't have the GTK package needed to run Firefox 3+ versions, you need to update it. When I did that update on my EeePC 900 20GB two years ago it didn't work too well, was slower than hell. I ended up installing a newer version of Linux named EasyPeasy, which is a off-shoot of Ubuntu. - http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ - Now my EeePC runs better than it did when it was new back in 2008.
Here's a couple of support threads about updating EeePC / Xandros for installing Firefox 3 on the EeePC, you'll have to modify those instructions for Firefox 4 or look for more up to date instructions.
