Without having looked at the code, here is a first wild guess: Maybe what you see was caused by bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163605 You say you are using 1.2, but not exactly which version - 1.2 final has not yet been released. Builds *after* 1.2 beta have the fix for bug 163605, including the latest-1.2 builds on the ftp server. If you were using a version that has not yet the fix, could you please test with a later build?
