Firefox 1.0 I had no problems.

I can now confirm that with an eilier version of firefox this problem doesn't
excist. I installed the old 1.0 (Prerelase Version) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 and I have absolute no
problems at all.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
