This list of depends should read:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>=1.2.10-4),
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810), xlibs (>> 4.1.0), 
zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), libnspr4 (= 2:1.0.0-0.woody.1), debconf (>= 1), psmisc

If your list of depends came from /var/lib/dpkg/status, it looks
like /var/lib/dpkg/status may be damaged. 

If the list is output of 
dpkg -I /var/cache/apt/archives/mozilla-browser_2%3a1.0.0-0.woody.1_i386.deb
, I would guess the deb is damaged and needs to be downloaded again.

What happens if you:
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives
# ls mozilla-browser*
mozilla-browser_2%3a1.0.0-0.woody.1_i386.deb
# dpkg -i mozilla-browser_2%3a1.0.0-0.woody.1_i386.deb
