For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.0.14-0lenny1.

You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable or switch to a still supported browser.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.0.14-1.
For the experimental distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.1.3-1.
