FWIW - I stopped bothering with bug submissions to FireFox/Mozilla - the
whole extensions framework is such a free-for-all / kludge that no one
ever has an idea what's going on, and the resolution invariably
consisted of 2 parts: contact the author of the extension in question
-and- remove and re-install the browser and all extensions.  Bug
resolution at mozilla.org is a joke - file your bug and watch it sink
500 posts deep in the next hour.
My $.02 - YMMV
Don
(BTW - the site works fine for me (on 1.0.4) and that new Eclipse is
pretty sweet)
