Hi Jon,
I have verified that it fixes it, just updating the nss and nspr.  They are on 
their way out now.
Fermilab had already pushed those out to their whole lab with the firefox 3 
update, so I know it goes on smoothly, as well as I just tested it on a plain 
SL 5.0 machine.
Expect it in a couple hours.
