Note that the first one mentions Firefox 3.5, which is quite old.  Given
that, I didn't read your [1] and [2] articles in detail, and I'm just
focusing on [3]:

Works for me.

I tried it using a Nightly firefox build, as well as the latest Firefox
release shipped with Ubuntu 12.04
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120413 Firefox/14.0a1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
and both of them worked perfectly with both the web-hosted version & a
locally-saved copy.

Could you test using a (temporary) fresh Firefox profile, by running the
following command and loading the testcase in the window that pops up:
  mkdir /tmp/ffprofile && firefox -profile /tmp/ffprofile -no-remote

Thanks,
