Mozilla says linux Firefox 2 needs gtk+2 and libstdc++ 5 (for 3 they don't 
say which libstdc++).  Same RAM and speed for 2 or 3.  No requirements 
posted there for 1.5.

I found a firefox-1.5.tar.gz 8MB at fileshack.com.  Which version 1.5?
The latest 1.5 is around 10MB.

Filehippo has all the Windows versions.
