Thanks for the quick and insightful reply, Raj. Some follow-up, below:

I switched to one of my spare "virgin" profiles (have to be careful how 
we use that word these days, Virgin Enterprises seems to be on a rampage 
in the US courts over trademark infringement...) and installed the same 
xpi as I've been using (1.8.0.1k). Upon restarting, I went straight to 
T-Mobile's homepage and logged in. Upon hitting the "secure login" link, 
I got the same condition (plain vanilla Classic theme, as built with Moz 
1.8b2).

That jar seems to be what you're using (1.8.0.1n). I've updated my 
regular profile with it, and I get the same condition.

I'm running FF on both my W2K box and my WBEL machine. I'll install Moz 
and see what I get there.

Right you are. Unchecked, now. At least that's a workaround for the time 
being.

Is there some way I can help troubleshoot this further? Is there a log 
file which can be enabled somewhere to track what's happening?
