Are you wanting a respin of 9, or making a respin of the live CD for 9?
The subject line and this paragraph seem to contradict each other.

I would have thought you'd just download the original and new 9 files
into some place, and build from there. If your "creation" command
refers to a filepath for your existing 7 installation, then it'd be
recreating that, instead.

In the past, when I've installed an OS and there were lots of updates
that'd be applied, post-install. I preferred to make a really minimal
initial install, then update from there. That seemed the least painful
method, to me.

I can see why any install always starts from the initial packages, then
updates, as that set of packages has been tested together (hopefully).
Whereas doing an install with a package list that gets the latest
version of each package, first go, wouldn't have been tested, and could
easily fall apart in a heap. But it'd be nice if it *could* work that
way, without having to make a respin (if you picked such an option, and
wanted to do a network install).

Before concluding it's a FF problem, try it again with add-ons disabled.

Maybe try the Noscript add-on? I use it routinely.

Yes. See also http://noscript.net/

I have it enabled by default, and selectively allow scripts on trusted
pages. You can also allow scripts temporarily i.e. only for the current
session. Well worth having IMHO.

I believe that when you tell anaconda to use an additional repository it
doesn't install packages with updates twice. The extra time needed for
installing base+updates over base should be pretty small.

I did a URL install about two weeks ago and was able to add Updates-Testing
as an additional repository. Both the Everything and Updates-Testing
repositories were on a local http server. I didn't get either from local
media (CD, DVD nor hard drive).

I realized after I sent this that I menat Updates not Updates-Testing was
used during the install.
