Looks like a regression from bug 265987. See bug 265987 comment 18.

Additional information. This build seemed to corrupt my profile. At some point
Mail and News failed to open. All attempts to open Mail crashed the browser. I
reverted to earlier nightlies, experiencing a crash with opening Mail. I tested
a number of earlier versions with no luck until I tested 1.7RC2. This build
fixed my profile and I was able to return to a newer stable nightly of 1.8a4. 

This build also created(?) an OS instability in the Mac OS. The only solution
was to reinstall the OS update 10.3.5 -> 10.3.6.

I wonder if these issues my have some connection with this bug or is a seperate bug?

I am closing this bug since the issue seems to have been resolved in later
Mozilla versions.

Appologizes, I am openning this bug. I thought I reported this bug for a version
of Mozilla earlier than 1.8a5. The 1.8a5 versions have been too buggy to be
useable on my B/W G3-350. I am re-opening this bug.
