You're running Fedora 9? Some of that software should be on your CDs or DVD. Or, you can get on the internet, and use the Fedora software repositories. So, login as root at a command line, be sure that you have an online connection, and type
yum install firefox
Let us know what happens. Also, type
man yum
to get some more information about using yum for updates and installation.
