Oooh, really? Wonder if they need any help. :-)
Do you have a link about this?
 
Well, that's absurd. :-) I surely wouldn't use one like that. Is the

Dunno about the latest version but I've heard complaints about recent
versions. Won't even install unless you have IE and also have IE set

If you aren't bent over and spread wide for the next 0-day event,

They're still off kilter with me, jasvascript on or off.

I've researched the (Firefox) RSS and nothing. It was either there that I
read it or a link from a news letter. I tried several variations through
google but came up empty - sorry.

Then it could be some subtle difference between my and your default
fonts, sizes, dpi, or similar. Probably not worth the effort to pursue
further.
