Nick, unless you are mozilla.org driver you are not allowed to set the flag to
blocking1.4+
You request it by setting it to 1.4?, but it would be a good idea to wait for
this bug to be confirmed first.

I guess your problem is a dupe of bug 168098.
If you can identify and resolve the problem after reading comment #4 in that
bug, please close this bug here as dupe.
