after checking ok on security updates in my f10, I am experiencing trouble with firefox; cant seem to go to other sites, even tho i can still get new gmail. I also see intermittent jumps in firefox %cpu to 10-15% range I dont recall getting updates finished screen. It looks like the yum update process is stalled: [root@f10 ~]# ps ax |grep -i firef 3872 ?
