It's that I read this article and tried the suggeste fix. Already sent bug info to Firefox developers, hope they can find the bug. Opera broowser crashes also; it shares the Gecko engine of Firefox, if I'm not wrong. Konqueror does NOT crash, but it is not as good as firefox with plugins.

Admittedly they're both x86_64 systems, so it could be architecture-dependent. You may have something else going on -- are you sure it's related to downloadable fonts? Whatever the case, there's not really much I can do to help with it. I'd suggest checking out some Fedora forums, and maybe reporting the problem to Red Hat/Fedora.
