well, no.   Advice on this llist over last year or so is that
google-chrome is better.

I can always fall back on firefox....


At least I know my problem is Selinux.
And in this case evidently something that can't be fixed.

I would think this will be viewed by many fedora users
as a real black mark on Selinux.

Unless google-chrome   is at fault.


More   detail on how I was running:
from a backup copy of F!4
I had just done a yum update.

If I now go back to my main F14
(and dont do the yum update)
then google-chrome works as it has been.

so it was some glltch in the yum update
