Well, so far, everything is working perfect. It downloaded the codecs automatically and Firefox is running without a hitch.

My only question is that I installed JRE(java runtime
environment) but for some reason it does not with Firefox. I tried to play chess at http://www.chessica.de/jchess/jchess.html but it is not doing anything and is still asking for JRE. Any suggestions?

JRE and Opera are working perfect which I found odd.

By the way, I am keeping Fedora. I think, killer features as Full Hard Drive Encryption, SElinux and
Package kit makes it a mean distro.

You don't need to install JRE (from Sun website) as Java comes with Fedora. You just need to install the web plugin with:

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

Openjdk != Sun java...

For instance, SAP's gui for java doesn't work with openjdk and requires sun's Java implementation.

I can imagine that many other software packages aren't compatible with openjdk either.
