So if people do a yum update they will also be upgraded from Firefox 1.0x to 1.5x. Will this issue affect those servers also? Also wondering if the default global setting in EL update 4 and FC5 versions browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers is set to 0 I remember Eric mentioning that this was neccessary to prevent Firefox 1.5x from consuming too much memory. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The only "gotcha" is that all the plugins must be installed first (which is going to happen anyway before it can be used...)
