Sorry for the delay, we don´t use this email account every day. No, it is purely a Firefox + Ubuntu combination that causes the problem. The same Ubuntu installation, but with Opera webbrowser -- no problem. Firefox with Mandriva One or OpenSuse -- no problem. Only Firefox (3.5) with Ubuntu 9.10. Previously (Firefox 3 and Ubuntu 9.04) we had no problem, this is a new one.
