Gary, you confirmed a bug filed on _trunk_ with a _branch_ build.

This worksforme on trunk.  Marking so, but please reopen if this is reproducible
in a current trunk build.

Comment 4

[Marc Loiselle]

Bug is not present on trunk but is present on 1.7 branch and aviary branch.

Changing version to 1.7 Branch and reopening.

[Gary van der Merwe]

Is this maybe a dup of Bug 255761?

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

No, but probably fixed by bug 238493 nevertheless.

Marc, at this point dangerous fixes like this aren't going into the branch, so
if you insist that this is a branch only bug, then WONTFIX.
