Albert,
If you are running Firefox 1.0.4, you are likely running sarge/stable.
See "Debian Releases" [1] for more information on the three main
distributions. The Debian release cycle is such that every so often a
new stable release is created. Packages in stable are exactly that,
they are stable and the versions will (generally) not change. The
"Debian GNU/Linux FAQ" [2] is great reading and describes the release
cycle.
This list is a great list to post questions/problems you want to resolve
regarding the odd behavior in Firefox you are experiencing. If you want
to do some digging yourself, the "Debian Package Tracking System" [3]
can put you in touch with most all the package information you could
care to explore. The "mozilla-firefox" entry in the DPTS [4] shows
there are plenty of bugs being worked on.
Hopefully someone on this list will help you find a work-around. In the
future, as you find apparent bugs in packages that aren't listed in the
bug log, feel free to report them. Better yet, if you can find a
solution (patch), include it in your report.
I know I didn't provide any solution for you (FF 1.0.4 works fine for
me). Just wanted to bring attention to some tools that are available.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
-Jeff
