It works for me with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1a1pre) Gecko/2008062703 Minefield/3.1a1pre

Can you install the latest beta ( http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ ) and test this bug in safe mode, or better with a blank profile? Disable also temporary all plugins.

If it works in this way, but not with your normal profile, probably it's a problem caused by an extension. So try to disable them one-by-one. 

When you find the problematic extension(s), inform us and its author.
