I was, I removed it and now Firefox is behaving properly, the only "slight" problem is now firefox is butt ugly (make that all gtk based apps) :( no biggie though..

Thanks Tex

I fixed this too by deleting the hidden gtkrc config file in my home directory.

I guess because I am looking for consistency throughout my desktop gui. In a perfect world I'd like all my onscreen elements to look the same but it's getting closer :)
