The page and applet Work For Me. Reporter, try reproducing the bug in Safe Mode
(it should be one of the options in the Mozilla Firefox folder in the Start Menu).

Try updating your version of Firefox. 1.0.4 is from May 11th, almost two months
ago. We publish a new version nightly and they are available at
http://www.mozilla.org/developer. Scroll down to the bottom, and click your OS
to begin downloading.

Actually that is not correct, Firefox 1.0.4 is built on gecko 1.7 which is over
a year old. Trunk nightlies contain the latest code base and are what will
become firefox 1.1. Firefox 1.0.x releases are just security fixes from firefox 1.0

WFM means Works For Me.
