Devel repo?
You do understand that your FC4 machine will become a development
machine (or -rawhide) if you start using the -devel repo, right?

I download the firefox SRPM, modified the firefox.spec and
firefox-mozconfig file.
In SPECS/firefox.spec file:
* Remove all references to cairo and pango.
* Change nss version to 1.7.10
* Change nss to mozilla-nss
* Change nspr version to 1.7.10
* Change nspr to mozilla-nspr.

In SOURCE/firefox-mozconfig file:
* Remove all references to pango.
* Remove all references to cairo.
