Jim,

I'd be happy to help you get visibility on this if you file a bug.   
I'd love to know if it was a regression (I doubt it, but it could be)  
or what the problem is.

Have you filed a bug with Mozilla before?

I'd appreciate it if you would file it and cc my work email- gen at  
mozilla dot com.
