I thought about creating an rpm for Firefox 3.0 for Fedora 8 because my
brother's computer doesn't like Fedora 9 and Firefox 3.0 better suits
his needs than Firefox 2.0. Whether or not v2 is better than v3 is up
to personal opinion, in my opinion, and I understand your ATI card issue
as well because I have the same issue. Anyway if I get around to
creating the rpm, and it works, I'll send you the rpm.
