Please attach a one-file testcase here.

permissions violation definitely happens but onclick event handler failing to fire was an artifact of my test script - please ignore that part.

These test cases files will generate a permissions violation on both PC/win2000/FF1.5 and Mac/10.4/FF1.5 when clicking in the text box, which renders making event handlers to do anything useful pretty difficult :(

That's not one file, and it surely isn't minimal. Anyways, running it, I get the following on the Error Console: Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XULControllers.getControllerCount Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method HTMLDivElement.getAttribute Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property HTMLDivElement.className CONFIRMing. The bug SUMMARY suggests that <richlistbox> doesn't work at all. From your description and the testcase, it seems that only the <textbox> when used in <richlistbox> has a little problem. It still works, though. Adjusting summary.
