Support for Firefox 1.0 ended in April last year, and support for
Firefox 1.5 ends this month... You really want to be thinking about
upgrading to Firefox 2.0 as there are unfixed security vulnerabilities
in earlier versions of Firefox and I find it hard to believe that people
will test functionality/compatability with their sites with something
that is unsupported by the developers. You are only going to see more
problems over time.

I'd also look at getting that Redhat updated (well, clean install) of
something more modern with some longer term support. Debian has fairly
long release cycles, easy upgrades and good security support as does
Ubuntu 6.06 which is going to be supported on the desktop for another 2
years yet and another 4 years on servers.
