This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME

Of course it was reported with Firefox 2.x or older - that is what there was in 2008.

Since the page that triggered the report no longer exists, and with it the link, the issue cannot be tested.  How about a new status - VANISHED
