This is partially my fault. What I am reporting is not an upstream
problem. Mozilla is perfectly capable of doing what I want it to do if I
change the config option indicated. It is a problem with how firefox is
distributed by the rpm created I assume by fedora. I am asking that
fedora repackage a existing rpm. I am completely updated. A new firefox
came last week (1.5.0.10) but I can't tell if this correction was made.

It is not an upstream problem also since firefox2 as far as I can tell
does not have this problem. But the responder to the bugzilla did not
say they would deal with the problem in FC6. So in effect they as I said
sent the complaint somewhere else (what you are calling upstream).
