It looks like SVG support is not enabled in the RHEL Firefox 1.5
RPMs (note that we no longer build Firefox for the Athena release),
yet is enabled in the Sun package. I am not yet sure whether this
was intentional on Red Hat's part, or an oversight.
Thanks for reporting this.
(Not that it will help with this problem, but we will be updating to
1.5.0.9 in the next patch release).
