Hello, I followed Siva and Alfred's advice about creating a new profile to see if I could replicate the issue in that situation.
I cannot reproduce either issue with a new profile. So, it looks like the problem is due to solaris 3.0.6 being incompatible with a solaris 2.0 profile. I had FF 2.x on macs and pcs with Vista... I don't remember running into these kinds of issues when I upgraded them. So, hopefully this information will allow us to determine the bug and fix it... since creating a new profile and migrating all the data associated with a previous profile seems kind of hard on users.
