Can you please retest with Firefox16 or later ?
Firefox10ESR will only get security fixes.

>Excute Follower Regexp
Your STR are incomplete. How do you execute this Regexp ?

Firefox16 or later is OK~
Firfox ESR 10.0.10's Regexp Engine is different, i suppose.

Firefox17ESR is out and Firefox10ESR will be EOL in a few weeks.
I don't think that this will be fixed for 10ESR.

Thank you anyway for the bug report.
