The page at http://www.eschatonic.org/misc/example.html causes Firefox to behave
incorrectly when switching between the preferred and the alternate stylesheet.
On switching to the alternate stylesheet, the text in each paragraph is
duplicated. On switching back to the preferred stylesheet, the text is still
repeated and the p:first-letter style has been lost.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View -> Page Style -> plain
2. View -> Page Style -> default
3. Reload

Actual Results:  
1. Text is duplicated.
2. Text is still repeated, style is lost.
3. Repeated text is gone, style is restored.

Expected Results:  
1. Text should switch to browser-default color and first-letter size.
2. Text should switch back to color and first-letter size defined in stylesheet
"default".

This is basically bug 229764.  See also bug 167292.

Currently the duplication on switching style to 'plain' no longer occurs, but the first-letter style is not restored on switching back to 'default'.

The remaining issue looks like bug 8253.

HI,

i've got this ...
my class "a.hightlight:first-letter {...}" do not work (dynamically with JS) until i write "a:first-letter {}" after


a.hightlight:first-letter {color:#41608F; } /* not work when class is applied dynamically ? */
a:first-letter {} /* hightlight applied only if i write this after */
