If iptables were stopped or restarted it would have that effect.
The correct way to load iptables modules in FC is to include them on the 
IPTABLES_MODULES line in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and make sure 
the line is not commented out.  That way the iptables init.d script will 
be sure to load the module again when started or restarted.
