I can reproduce it with:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/2007051502 Firefox/2.0.0.4


I can't reproduce it with trunk; clicking that border does nothing:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/2007060204 Minefield/3.0a6pre

Reporter, can you confirm that this is, indeed, fixed on trunk?

No response from reporter + comment #2 -> WORKSFORME

Reporter, feel free to re-open this bug if you still see this behavior in trunk (see the link in comment #3) while using a clean profile.
