Like many, my experience with FC5 setup, went as smooth as it was with FC1, FC4. Of-course I was sufficiently pre-warned and learned with the help of this list, like never before. Most useful part of learning was the new feature of right click in package selection, it will survive if found popular. Otherwise I might have missed it like many would have. Adobe Reader, K3b, Java, Azureus, XMMS, Amarok, Xine, Mplayer, Alsa, etc., all working fine.
Anyway, I had promised myself that I will write this post from FC5 but alas not to be. I could have, but not feeling 100% to do so, due to -
Problem is with FireFox. It simply will not open any page on its own, but will open the same if had been just opened in Konqueror (Web Browser). I am trying various options to pinpoint what is happening but ... I think I need help. Any clues like SELinux (Tried all three modes), cookies, DNS ? ? ? or Paul's specialist tips on FireFox ... (I just bookmarked another one, thanks).

In system-config-network --- device tab --- eth0 and eth1 (listed) --- edit The option "Enable IPv6 configuration for this interface" is not selected in FC4 and FC5 With such setting in FC4 - working very well (as i write this) Same setting in the case of FC5 - not working for FireFox - but OK in Kaonqurer.
system-config-securitylevel Firewall FC4=enabled FC5=Enabled/Disabled SE Linux FC4=Enabled+Enforcing+Targeted FC5=Enabled/disabled + Enforcing/Permissive Working = FC4=OK FC5=Not OK FC4 setttings are fixed, alloptions above tried in FC5.
Is it an interface problem or a browser problem or security setting level. I observe that sites requiring secure connection are not opening at all in FireFox.
Net is working on eth0 in FC5 download on ftp and torrents (azureus) are done. Problem is http. Any tips tricks or hints - TIA
