Ah, I hadn't noticed.  It looks much better with that fix. I'm still on 
FF8 on this Linux system; I assume I'll get FF9 shortly via the Software 
Update process.

I haven't come across that.

I note that for some flavour of admin account on Windows (not the 
Admininstrator account, but a newly created one that has been given admin 
privileges), the update to FF9 can fail.  Solution: launch FF with 
Administrator privileges. Seen on Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows 7 OK in 
this respect.
