Thats most likely a similar issue to FF3 + ally causing a huge delay in 
displaying the select box of components.  I do not see that happen on my Macbook 
(the list displays in about 8 seconds), but on a slower machine it probably 
would be a problem.

Does the second select box on this page (the first 'run test' link) take a long 
time to display or cause those errors in Safari as well?

The large number of components in the Fedora list is a problem for browsers 
generating the widgets, but it may be that some components need to be grouped up 
in the future if Fedora keeps expanding the package space (a good thing!).

The FF3 bug should be resolved though I've seen it still be kinda slow at times:
