    Hi All,

    This may be a stupid question, but are you all running the identical
    version of Firefox?... same package, same packager and installed in the
    same way?

    rpm -qa | grep Firefox shows MozillaFirefox-1.0-2.1

    However... and this is a side benefit of apt4rpm - ;-) - you can just
    forget what you installed, when *and* where it came from :-P

    I can't think of another reason the 'same' application would respond
    internally one way on system 'A' and differently on system 'B' with the
    platform type and OS being the same.

    - Carl
