Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Ubuntu 9.10, Firefox 3.5.7

Setting ui.caretWidth through the Firefox configuration has no effects.
Reference: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=865895

Steps to repeat:
1. in Firefox, open about:config in the URL bar
2. rightclick in the content area
3. select 'new', 'integer'
4. enter 'ui.caretWidth' for the name
5. enter 3 for the value
6. restart Firefox and test with a page that has a text input or textarea on it

Expected result: a thick text caret (cursor)
What happened: the caret is unchanged, a single pixel line

NB: on Windows XP with Firefox 3.5.7 the precedure above works as
advertised.
