Thanks for the link.

BTW & way OT:

While reviewing that bug report I noticed that it mentions "Tools >
Error Console". Out of curiosity I had a look at the 'Error Console' &
found some interesting entries (all bugzilla.mozilla.org caused):

bugzilla.mozilla.org : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555
(multiple entries)

Timestamp: 08/03/2012 04:51:35 PM
Warning: Unknown property '-moz-opacity'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/js/yui/assets/skins/sam/autocomplete.css?1303753510
Line: 7
(multiple entries)

and most interesting of all (IMO):

statse.webtrendslive.com : server does not support RFC 5746, see
CVE-2009-3555

Digging a little further, I find that Mozilla has an 'opt-out'
requirement (as opposed to 'opt-in'), specifically for Webtrends:
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/opt-out.html>

I generally browse with cookies off & only turn them on for trusted
sites that I know require them & then delete them when finished, so the
Webtrends doesn't affect me until I turn cookies back on (logging into
bugzilla). However, rather than following the info on
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/opt-out.html, simply let a webtrendslive
cookie to be set, then Tools|Cookie Manager|Manage Stored Cookies| and
nuke the cookie with the 'When removing, block the listed websites from
setting future cookies'.

[bugzilla pages cause lots of "statse.webtrendslive.com : server does
not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555" messages to error console]
