Hi Neil, Thanks for the explanation. It is always comforting to know that there is a rational explanation for things not working properly.
I did check the bugzilla (by searching for mozilla in the package database and then invoking the 'bugs' link) but none of the five items listed seemed to refer to 10.0.3.. Was there something else I should have done to find a relevent bug report? Do you have a bug # for the report you are referring to?
