I reported this bug on the forum (Jul Tue 19th 2005):
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=294333
And it was with Firefox 1.0.4 on Windows 2000 SP4.

Now I'm using Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 and waiting with an extension disabled to see
what will happen when it will be updated! (I hope soon...)
Then I will post here the result.

I could not check with Beta 2, but in RC1 the bug seems to have been solved!
