Has anybody noticed weird behavior of some of the dialogs in Firefox 6.0.2? For example, in my Firefox 6.0.2 when I go to the "Tools" menu item and select "Options," and then go to the "General" tab, if I repeatedly click on the "When Aurora starts:" selection box, it expands horizontally with every click. It just gets longer and longer. Also, when I want to bookmark a website, if I select the "Choose" option for the specific folder, the bookmark dialog expands to twice the original size but the right half of the dialog simply doesn't appear. I couldn't find any discussion of these problems on the web. [The Firefox 6.0.2 is from the Tor Browser Bundle]

I found a serious security fault on Tor Browser.

Google seems is able to see the user real IP when the user log-in at google services (gmail.com, etc.).
To log-in is enforced to have scripts allowed in the browser, otherwise is not possible to log-in. And this seems to be the google trick to identify the real IP.

I identified this because I logged-in at gmail.com using tor browser and google server requested to fill a phone number to send me the password if i forget it. The page to fill the phone number showed my correct country and the respective international phone code.

How can we fix this problems without torn-off the script functionality?
