There was a kernel update and I reboot every day anyways.
Reboot every day? Hmmmm....that sounds like Windozy....anyway, what you
are seeing can happen if firefox is not restarted: I am presuming you
did quit firefox and restart after the update.

I believe this "little red hat" appears when you install software to
report kernel... instabilities or something like that.
I see: this is the abrt tool. It is a pain and a joke. I have been
tempted to get rid of it.
I must admit I never sent those reports:
1st: Like, from "all" the answers I've received so far, for most
people here, it would look like a bad joke.
2nd: Before sending a report, you are warned that you are sending
sensitive data on an unencrypted connection. I thought I'd refrain.
It downloads hundreds of debuginfo rpms first, regardless of whether
you use it or not, from what it seems.

It's an Award BIOS, but I can't get any more specs. (1994 - 2009). I
don't believe it has anything to do with the version of this BIOS. It
might take some work, but the BIOS/CMOS can be hacked on the present
Fedora 12.
I meant specs of the system. That is typically most helpful to diagnose
a problem, if any.
