Can you give an example of such a site ?

I notice in my own work that the map for a circle shows up but it is on the left side of the image, not where it belongs.  It seems that the y coordinate and the radius are done properly.  My guess is that somewhere you either drop or misspell the x-coordinate of the center.

An example is sometimes available at https://www.instigations.com/internals2/logos.php?cmd=showreloid  Because I'm still working on this (including a possibility of a workaround), this URI may or may not be available at any time.

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.9 or later in safe mode? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

It's the unsafe mode I'm worried about.  It still seems to find the link only on the left side of the image.  My link to a nonworking example is now off the air.  I have constructed a new one at
https://www.reloid.com/fulllogo.htm
Note that when the mouse goes over the foot, an alternate graphic should show up and it should revert when the mouse leaves the graphic.  IE does this.

Firefox will pop up the alternate graphic when the mouse is on the left side of the picture at the correct level but do nothing when the mouse is over the foot.

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.10 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.

Why do you send me to a page which says not to use profiles unless I'm an extension developer?  Firefox 3.6.10 does not solve the problem and I don't even have an old profile.  The mouseover still pops up when my cursor is at the same y-level but when I'm all the way over to the left.
