No. That's just a URL I remembered reading about that had caused lockups 
under linux. I remembered it because I recently downloaded and installed 
Fedora at home. I've not tried the URL myself under Firebird or Mozilla 
at home, but I know that page causes 1.5x and 1.6b under Windows to 
become extremely slow. Was wondering if that page would trigger the 
problem you're having. That it contains fedora RPMs is irrelevant...
Does the page load OK for you? Or does it lock your system? If it locks 
your system, I believe it's a known issue and there's a bug report on 
it. Can't seem to find it on the couple bugzilla searches I've tried, 
though.
