Yes, I did - but that msg came through to me *after* I'd sent my msg (and was
posted only 20 mins before I posted my message, which is pretty close in
mailing list terms).

Your answer had not answered the OP's question, which was why I followed it up
("Only the user has authority" is not an answer to "Is firefox or the OS to
blame?"). However, as you pointed out, a subsequent message did provide the
answer (that it's an error in this release of firefox).
