So I did on bugzilla.redhat.com They responded that I should file the bug on bugzilla.mozilla.org So I did: bug 373568 Mozilla responded that this was a duplicate of bug 370386 This bug is indeed related but it blames the problem on gnome and suggests a patch which clearly has never been applied. If you go to bug 370386 you will see reference to an older mozilla bug report. At this point I am dizzy. I will think about this further but it looks hopeless for anyone to take responsibility for this and then promise to fix this in later firefoxes, gnomes or somewhere. If anyone wants to trail this far enough to make a suggestion I am all ears. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
