Actually with this card I do see the issue in that bug. I also see crashes on the economist.com site. However, the fact that this graphics card has long been unsupported by the manufacturer and worked so poorly under fedora 12 (issues having nothing to do with browsers) is the main reason I bought the new system with the more recent graphics card. I was actually pleasantly surprised that upgrading the system to fedora 14 actually resulted in Linux being usable with this card.
