The most common cause is that your glibc version is not recent enough, 
but other things can also cause problems.  Firefox currently requires 
glibc 2.3.2 or higher.  If you have that, try installing a seamonkey 
nightly build.  It probably won't work either, but will provide a more 
useful error message.
