    I have unstable on my box. But I think the problem I was experiencing is
     done now. I created a new profile and tried to reproduce the problem.
    The problem was not there in the new profile. I think it was possible
    due to the fact that Firefox was running for more than 48hrs when I
    first saw the problem! And a restart was enough to resolve the problem.

    PS: the list saved me from adding to the already long list of bugs for
    firefox
