Have yet to narrow things down enough to file a bug.Just so you know with the way the versioning in nightlies, like for example the unstable Trunk nightlies behind Firefox 3.0 (has to actually branch from the Trunk first) was just changed from 1.6a1 to 3.0.a1 but this does not all mean there will be a Firefox 3.0 alpha 1 build anytime soon, in the Q3 perhaps maybe, though it did not get the generic "Minefield" name yet, though the "Bon Echo" is the codename for 2.0.
