Mozilla 4.0??? That's surely not the most recent version.

We would need far more details (firefox version string, etc.) to verify this, plus reporter needs to run tests as in comment #1. -> incomplete

Also, if it wasn't incomplete, it's still worksforme on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Please reopen if you see this bug on most recent version on firefox (currently 3.5.3).
