WFM. What version of FF are you using? If you're not using beta 1.5 please
retest with it. There have been many bug fixes since 1.0 was released.

I'm currently using Firefox version 1.0.7  Although I've had this same problem
with 1.0.6 and 1.0.5  The problems occurs on all computers I've installed FF on
at home (2 laptops and 1 desktop).  I've also had friends reproduce this on
their machines using FF 1.0.6

confirm works on trunk, so marking WFM.

Dennis, if this is needed on branch, eg. released 1.x, then someone will have to find and nominate the fixing bug. If you can recreate with a trunk build then reopen this bug.
