Well, it is Forbes. This is part of that community that has the mindset that unless it's making money, it's not useful, and that unless it's part of a business, it's not worth notice.

they say redhat linux 7.0

while it would have been nice to be more general remember they are trying to put in as many stock symbols as possible and there aren't that many publicly traded linux companies for them to use :)

I expect (based on no evidence) that's because Forbes is just passing on release info from the Mozilla Project, and it'll run under any reasonably-recent GNU/Linux.

FWIW, Debian has it packaged in (at least)

Versions: 0.7-7 [alpha, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc],
0.7-6 [arm, m68k, s390, sparc]

A brief examination of the changelog and a few files' diffs turns up only changes to

• extend the range of architectures, and
• fix bugs & make improvements.

I.e.: No strictly Debian-distribution changes jump out at you. Therefore, it's probably almost trivial to adapt the original to any distribution you care to use. It certainly Just Works on my [Debian/testing] system.
