Can you test with a more recent version of Firefox? Like 3.6.28 or even Firefox 10 or 11? Is there a reason why you're testing specifically with 3.0.10 or was that a typo?

A lot people will eventually tell you that it is a huge security risk to use 3.0.10 since many security patches have been put into Firefox since then. Maybe you already know that and are willing to take your chances. But I'm just curious.

Here's a link to all the Firefox versions:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

Try a more recent version in your tests.
