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.
