Firefox doesn't want to start :(

Hello people,

After I totally fucked up my installtion (don't know what I did)  I did  a reinstallation. Everything went fine, except one thing, I installed firefox (from mozilla.org because I don't want bon echo ) and tried to start it:

[werner@WernerPC firefox]$ ./firefox
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The command pacman -Ql | grep libstdc++.so gave me this:

[root@WernerPC firefox]# pacman -Ql | grep libstdc++.so
gcc-libs /usr/lib/libstdc++.so
gcc-libs /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
gcc-libs /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.9

So what the hell did I wrong? I can't figure it out.

On my previous installation it worked without any problem.
