If this issue is important to you, then install and test our alpha or beta builds. Users who did that found the bug months ago and got the fix in the pipeline. It turns out no one told me that the fix was not deployed in Unbuntu etc. I don't have a 64 bit linux machine. I don't have time to test every unsupported build everyone makes. If it's not important enough for you to do this for you system, I can't see why it would be important for me to do it for *your* system. In the meantime, just install a supported Firefox build of 3.5.7 or install Firefox 3.6. That is all you have to do. jjb > > Don't get me wrong, I'm still a huge Firebug fan, and really > appreciate the awesome work you do.
