That's for the official precompiled binary. There
are non-official binaries with different dependencies.

Could be a Windows version (no linux in filename)?
If it is a Linux version, most likely gtk2.

There is an early gtk1 Firefox available for download
at some sites -- version 1.5.0.1 or 1.5.0.3 or something
like that. Keep in mind that Firefox 1.5 had a long run
-- there were a lot of improvements and bug fixes between
1.5.0.3 and 1.5.0.12. It is definitely worthwhile using
1.5.0.12, rather than an early 1.5 or early 2.0 (which
actually predated 1.5.0.12).

Cheers,
Steven
