Let's reboot the web server just in case.

Re: cant add description in profile using firefox

what does it do when you click on the "Update your description" link? Normally it pops up a CSS popup that allows you to fill in your description text.

This site uses a combination of CSS and AJAX. You might double check to make sure that you have Javascript enabled in Firefox. (Firefox->Preferences->Content->Enable Javascript)

You have to log in first

Trying preparing your profile in a text editor such as Notepad, and then cut and paste into your profile. That is what I do with most of my postings. I shouldn't use a word processor for your profile - there's usually too much hidden stuff that could cause problems.

Reverend seems to have the answer.
I use this sequence in the browser;
Tools > Options . . . > Content > Enable JavaScript

If any FireFox user is concerned about the global enabling of JavaScript as suggested above (which IMHO you all should be), then download the NoScript extension: http://noscript.net/
I'll get my anorak...
