I have been similarly unsuccessful with the Mac. As far as I can tell,
this is actually a bug in the Mac version of Firefox. I have posted to
the mozilla zine forums about this
(http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=889745), and have
also filed a bug on the Mozilla bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471724).
Alas, there does not seem to be any interest in fixing this bug evinced
by the organization, and I am not at all a C++ programmer, so can't do
anything myself. I can only encourage you, and all Org users, to vote
for this bug.
And meanwhile you can at least save yourself some hours of fruitless
wrestling with Firefox preferences!
Best,
R
