User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

I have got a strange problem and it's also reproducible on a clean profile: 
If I select a form (select) field and press the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Del it's SOMETIMES not working => The clear private data field is not shown. I sometimes have to hit the shortcut up to 8 times to get the dialogue. If I then press the 'Cancel' button of the dialogue and try again, It might be working. But if I then select another option from the select field it might again be not working.



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load testcase (best on clean profile)
2.Select an option from the 'select' field
3.Press Ctrl+Alt+Del
Actual Results:  
Clear private data dialogue is sometimes shown, but not always. 

Expected Results:  
Dialogue should always be shown

Ooops: 
Under 'Steps to reproduce' press Ctrl+Shift+Del instead of Ctrl+Alt+Del.

seems to work for me - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

I tried 30+ times with single, multiple continuous and multiple non-continuous selections. 

Is there a chance that something like a flash banner may have had focus? See bug 78414. Another thing to try would be to work through the http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting document.

No. I also tried on a complete new firefox installation with no other site opened but only this one. There is no other website element that might have focus here.

Got through this document. But also in Firefox Portable 3 this issue persists.
