Curiously I just found that the firefox package was missing: /usr/lib64/firefox-4/components /usr/lib64/firefox-4/extensions /usr/lib64/firefox-4/langpacks I suspect they didn't survive the upgrade from Fedora 14 which I believe had firefox and firefox4 packages installed. After reinstalling the firefox package, my problem has gone away.
Thank you for letting us know.
