The one I have used before successfully for other things is a symbolic link - it works most of the time going from a higher to a lower library :)
I tried that, it didn't work in this particular case because Firefox was looking for functions/variables that had changed names between .so.5 and .so.6.
I agree that it is usually a way to get things to work with newer libraries.

I have /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 installed on my system.
Firefox (in the 2.0.0.7 version downloaded from mozilla.com) needs /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 to work.
Is there any reasonably simple workaround for this problem? I know one *could* build from source but that sounds like rather hard work for Firefox.
