I don't see how this is a security bug, clearing group setting.

This sounds like a request for technical support. Please see the *first* link in the "Got a problem?" box at the https://bugzilla.mozilla.org homepage, not the last link in that box.

Without a testcase no one will be able to tell what's wrong and this bug will just sit there until it expires. The URL link is unreachable from California, at least at the moment, and attached testcase would be better. There may be an actual bug, but more likely you've just been seduced by a non-standard IE-ism and could use a cross-browser alternative that will work in all browsers.

No response from the reporter in a month and the site is still MIA - resolving.
