Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
I have seen this in FC6 when starting Firefox one time as root (to install a dictionary). So still present in FC6 firefox-1.5.0.8-1.fc6
