WFM in win2k Firebird nightly trunk build
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031028
Firebird/0.7+
So it may be worth trying it with an updated build (although Comment 1 seems to
be refer to recent builds, reporter's build is 3 months old).
Having said that, this bug is probably a dupe of Bug 217796.
