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!
