Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Please try installing into a new directory and creating a new profile, using the
MozillaFirebird.exe -p switch, and report your results here

I was not able to replicate this bug under either configuration listed below: 

Window Machine's Configuration
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Microsoft Windows XP, Tablet PC Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 1
PIII 866 MHz, 256 MB RAM

Linux Machine's Configuration
Mozilla/5.0 (x11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8
3.1-10 Red Hat, Linux 2.4.20-8
AMD 1MHz, 768 MB RAM

In both configurations, I followed these steps:
1.	Navigated to http://keralakaumudi.com/news/exclusive/feature/ja6.stm
2.	Navigated to other sites using the same font for 15 minutes

During the replication, the browser and computer worked correctly. This was a
fresh (standard) install of Firefox, and I did not need to install the true type
font to view the pages.
