WFM in Fx 1.0.6 and DeerPark 20050810.

Does this persist if you start with Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

(As there's only one button and it is the default button, hitting return should
also clear the sheet and take you to the page.)

I'm not sure you can do it in safe mode, as you need an extension to get the homepage of the author who made the extension!
