This could be a duplicate of bug 257121, although in that case I'm missing some steps in your "Steps to Reproduce".
So if it is not bug 257121, it is not reproducible for me with Firefox 2.0.0.12 on Windows XP.
In that case you could try out the following trouble-shooting options:

- Firefox's safe-mode to exclude extension/theme problems
- a new profile
- a reinstall in a new empty folder

or wait until someone else can confirm the problem.

After restoring my system with a backup, everything worked again.
But after installing the latest IE View update the bug was back.

If you are still experiencing this issue in Firefox 3.0 or later, please re-open the bug with steps to reproduce (if they were not part of the original comment).
