Well as explained in that CR, there probably isn't a difference in the 
browser.  It's just due to timing or other differences in the 
environment.  You're going to have the same problem, or a worse one, no 
matter what.

You can show us yourself, you know.  Firefox is open source.  Get the 
source, locate the bug and turn in a patch.  That's the right way to 
complain about somebody else's software.

This at least is a good attitude.  There's a fine line between 
perseverance and getting diagnosed with OCD.  I think it might be time 
to cut bait on this one and live with it.
