Dag's firefox is flawed in that it lacks Blizzard's xremote fixes. 
Please read and follow the directions in my earlier announcement about 
official Fedora Extras firefox & thunderbird.  Fedora Extras firefox & 
thunderbird have been rigorously polished by 6 different people, and 
they now integrate perfectly with FC2 desktop.  You can even choose both 
as default browser and mail application in the Preferred Applications 
chooser.

Heed the warnings about repository mixing though.  You need to either 
choose Fedora Extras, or the often clashing 3rd party repositories. 
(Don't try to deny it.  <evil grin>)
