Not paraphrasing. The bug was on the firefox configuration supplied with FC6. Suggestion was that I file the bug on mozilla bugzilla. Since then they have fixed the problem in firefox2. Look at bug: 227405
You said Red Hat told you it was not its problem and to go complain to someone else. Just to confirm are you talking about https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227405. Maybe you are misunderstanding what is being said there. All there is a request to verify against the updates, file a bug report upstream and pass it on the package maintainer for it to be tracked locally.
Even when Red Hat is the upstream maintainer for non-packaging specific bugs, it is better to file bugs upstream. There are muliple reasons including the factor the there is bound to be better exposure and more people working on a upstream project compared to a distribution package.
