This bug is supposed to be fixed in Mozilla 1.9.1, which it appears will be included in Firefox 3.1 (judging from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/ ). I have the same problem with a Cforms application and have been meaning to try a Firefox 3.1 beta to see if it actually fixes the problem but haven't had the time. If anyone does give it a try I'd be interested in hearing their experience. It has been very frustrating since Firefox 3 came out.
