I reported this error 7 days ago and as did not get a response so I sent a polite follow up message to see if my message was received. This was the response:

"please note that sending mail again (which you apparently did) won't
get better responses. I had starred this email and was waiting for
some time when I was going to be friendly and suggest something.
Instead... this is me frowning at you."

I was not aware of the so called "etiquette" guidelines. I am simply looking for an answer to a technical problem that only seems to be an issue with firefox. 

thanks.
