Firefox and the rich text editor

Mozilla recently release a security update to 2.0 version of firefox. This version, 2.0.0.17, causes issues with our Rich Text Editor and therefore breaks the update page. Until we can come up with a resolution for this, either upgrade firefox to 2.5 or 3.0, or use a different browser. You can also use the mobile update page at http://www.insanejournal.com/mobile/post.bml

  Hiya Squeaky,
  
  I'm not sure if you are able to help on this matter, and I am well aware it has little to do with Firefox, but I'd like to report a problem that has been plaguing a role-play community here on LJ as well as several role-play character journals.
  
  Posts are begin spammed with anonymous, sexually inappropriate comments (I don't have a source IP address for you at the moment, but I will if/when it happens again). It started about a week ago, and the number of comments has been increasing to now about 2 a day. This is highly upsetting as well as offensive, and although anonymous posting has been turned off these effected journals, I was wondering if this is a wider problem and if there is anything you can do about it?
  
  Thanks for your time,
  
  Jonathan

    We are constantly trying to find better ways to detect and stop anonymous spam comments. It is a known problem that we have been constantly monitoring and addressing.
