Do you mean Firefox or Thunderbird ?

He means Thunderbird. Also this bug is already fixed.

This was fixed some days after TB 1.0. 

Please try the latest aviary branch build (latest TB 1.0.x build) from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-aviary1.0.1/

to fix the problem or wait until the TB 1.0.1 release (coming soon).
