I had Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 and 3.0.1 installed on a "Wallstreet" 
PowerBook G3 with no problems (other than problems that are endemic to 
Linux on any laptop). I think the "Kanga" is internally similar enough 
to work with YDL 3.x. The following page agrees with my guess:

Search the list archives for "Firefox" (note: not "Firebird") and 
"Matthias" (for Matthias Saou -- a YDL Hero); go to any Yellow Dog Linux 
page and the search field is at the top. You will find an "RPM" for 
Firefox 0.9.2:

Good luck, and welcome to the Yellow Dog Linux community!

Best wishes,
