firefox tabs broken?

[Steve Tremblett]

I messed up the gnome 2.8 upgrade (portupgrade ran away when I wasn't
looking, but gnome_upgrade.sh saved the day), so I'm not sure if this
issue is with firefox or gnome (but I'm suspecting firefox).

When opening tabs in firefox 1.0, they immediately show "(Untitled)"
with a middle-click, CTRL-click on a link, or right-click -> "Open link
in new tab".  When I drag a link to the tab bar, an empty tab is created
but the link loads in the first tab.

Help please this is driving me nuts!!
