[Mozile] mozile 0.8::Firebug incompatibility?

[James A. Overton]

	Ok. Using an onload handler instead would be just fine. I did it the  
other way just to cut down on the number of lines of code. I can't  
see any disadvantages to using a handler.
	If you've got it working, send me the code and I'll integrate the fix.
	Thanks,

James
