Care to mention the steps you took to do this? For me it works just fine.

I upgraded to 3.2 branch and it's not reproducible there.

I don't know if this bug should be closed or not.

QA, your call.

This sounds very similar to:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471352

Probably the same issue.

Both of these started around the third week of December, too, so that could be a timeframe to look at for changes that might have led to this issue.

i'm marking as dupe indeed for the same time range, and behavior, plus the fact reproduction is really hard, so better tracking all progress in one place.
