This does not answer my question either. No version is specified in that report. There have been many past issues. You have pointed some of these out. Firefox 2.0 is a new revision. Does the new revision fixed the issues with hyperthreaded machines? Yes or no. Either it was fixed or it's not fixed.
So what you're saying is that Mozilla didn't make a patch to fix their own code, instead relyiing on the user to mess with their BIOS, something which a great majority of people have no clue how to do. And that 1000's of other programs that encounter hyperthreading on computers without a problem are just some fluke or programming genius? I think not. And tell me then why FF works perfectly on Fedora Core 5 on the same machine? Does Fedora magically update my BIOS? Tell me again that it's my BIOS and I'll tell you that you're a liar.
You still have not answered my original question.

that doesn't answer my question.
Does FF 2.0 work on hyperthreaded computers now? Prior versions after 1.5 do not run well at all on my hyperthreaded computer.
