Works for me. Could you test again with Firefox 4 and reopen if this still is a problem for you?

I was using Firefox 3.6.3 just now and the bug was still there.
Apparently my automatic updates have been frozen since an interruption in downloading the update for 3.6.4.
I just manually updated to 3.6.13 and find that the bug is gone.
I am not into testing Firefox beta releases, so I'll defer on testing this in Firefox 4. Doesn't seem to be necessary anyway.
