Do you see this behavior with Firefox 3.5.5?

Does the issue still occur with the latest nightly version? -> http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-firefox-3.6.x/

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles?s=profile

Did not see this behavior in Firefox 3.5.5.

After all this time I don’t see how this bug can still be deemed “unconfirmed.”  It is there in the recently released version of Firefox 3.6.  It was NOT there in Firefox 3.5.  I tried the pre-release version, 3.7.  It is in there too.  This needs to be fixed, not ignored.  Thank you.

I think bug 542308 is a dupe of this bug, with a regression range.

As I noted in bug 542308, attachment 421299 [details] [diff] [review] of bug 516027 fixes this.

Duping this against bug 542308, since that one is confirmed.
