Firefox 3 in windows and firefox 3 in linux and firefox 3 in mac are not
built the same at all so telling us you do or dont see it on windows
isnt being all that helpful unless you find an upstream bug for it.

Annoying people that are working as fast and hard as we can is not gonna
help you get it fixed faster. Why not as us what you can do to help get
this bug fixed? Also if you follow bug #187313 you would see that
upstream is working on it once they fix it we can release a fixed version
