Firefox checking webmail sent items folder showing "From" instead of "To" field

On my Macbook Pro, IE is no problem for the "To" function under Sent items. I get "To" automatically in "Sent items" search - and even searching for a specific contact within that folder. However, different story on Firefox. In FF the software shows only the "From" column, and I see no right mouse click options to change that. Is there any way to fix that?

I think this is a function of the website, since Firefox does not have a built-in email client. Is this on a popular webmail site (e.g., Windows Live/Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail), in Outlook Web App (formerly known as Outlook Web Access), or somewhere else? Maybe someone familiar with the particular site can take a look or provide some tips.

Also note that you are using an Aurora (alpha) Firefox 18 build.

Does this also happen with the current Firefox 16 release and the current Firefox 17 beta release that will become the next release in a few days?
