Tony, Thanks for the pointer to that bugzilla bug entry, though when I read through it I didn't grasp how it had to do with the bug I reported.
In any case, when I tried the "Minefield" v3.0a1 (rv: 1.9a1) nightly trunk build which I got via the URL that Martijn posted, the actual bug discussed at the start of this thread was fixed. What is the URL for getting the current Fx 2.0.0.1 pre-release nightlies, and when you say the fix will be in "the next Fx 2.0 release" does that mean an update which users of Fx v2.0 (rv: 1.8.1) will be offered "automatically" and in the not-too-distant future?
