When I open about:config, I get a dialog box which said "The site www.google.com
wants to set a cookie". So I check network communications by livehttpheaders.

livehttpheaders catches these headers:

It is result of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a)
Gecko/20040210 Firebird/0.8.0+ .
But I get same result on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 .

Forefox shows about:config page. So there is no problem on using about:config.

I just noticed this with Firefox build 20040218 on Linux.

My guess is that this is a dup of bug 218584, which was fixed in Firebird as bug
234948 yesterday.  Yabushita, does this still happen for you if you try a
2004-02-21 or newer nightly build?

This does not happen in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b)
Gecko/20040222 Firefox/0.8.0+.
Thank you for your information.
