Thanks for this, it works great except for a few pages with flash videos, like Laola TV:

The same site works with Firefox 3.6 and Chrome - any ideas?
Update to Release Candidate 2
For fedora 12, firefox goes to remi (so, no more firefox4, as I haven't update to firefox 3.6.15). This will also be the same for all versions, with the finale version.
