This was on an upgrade install, but per the suggestion in bug 162207, I
uninstalled and reinstalled.  Behavior was identical even after doing so.  I'll
try a more recent build to see if it was just a quirk with that specific one.

BTW, I've also filed bug 162207 and bug 162218 re: problems with the listed URL.
 Thought it might be worth mentioning them in case they're related.

Okay, after another uninstall, deletion of all profile information, and install
of 1.1 branch build 2002081108, the problem went away.  So I guess this won't
harm anyone doing a totally fresh install of Moz 1.1.  I'll tag it and its
siblings as invalid.

Is there any way, other than backing up your bookmarks, mail, etc, uninstalling
and reinstalling with a later build to safely upgrade from one build to another?
