Hmm. Go to "about:config" and check your "toolkit.storage.synchronous" 
setting.

It _should_ say

	default integer 0

and that is what it says for me (yes, on Fedora 10).

The values are: 0 = off, 1 = normal, 2 = full.

If you don't have that "toolkit.storage.synchronous" entry, that means 
that you have an older version of firefox-3. And if you have some other 
value, it either means somebody changed it, or that Fedora is shipping 
with multiple different versions (the "official" Firefox source code 
defaults to 1, I think, but they suggested distributions change the 
default to 0).
