Hello Jerome,

Have you hovered around in the source code for that error message?  Does
this person have some crazy addin installed that might be mucking around
with the javascript client side; say greasemonkey?

> ....  "Firefox/1.5.0.10"

"Firefox 1.5 is no longer supported and the last update, Firefox 1.5.0.12,
is affected by several vulnerabilities fixed in newer versions of the
program. All users are urged to upgrade to the newest version of Firefox."
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#firefox1
.5.0.12 

Sadly, I suspect the answer is either have the person upgrade their browser
or spend a while figuring out if it a browser bug, a scoop bug, or a bug in
the editor.  :-(

If you do go the debugging route, have the guy install firebug
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) and make sure it is
enabled while he reproduces the bug.  Firebug will hopefully produce some
big fat red error messages in its debug console when it runs the miscreant
javascript.

Failing that, get the "HTML validator" addin
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/249) on his browser and have
it validate the *generated* HTML on the page, which is not to be confused
with the "view source" method that only validates the original page.  It is
a long shot, but there could be a little bit of screwy HTML that the
JavaScript is generating (say a missing </p> or something) that everybody
else doesn't choke on.

BTW, have you tried to repro this using the exact same browser version?
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/releases/1.5.0.10.html

Good Luck!  Honestly, unless the user has some stone-age IT department that
maintains this computer, the cost effective route is just telling him or her
"there are major security bugs in that version of firefox, time to upgrade
pal."

...A block further from Mai Phim.  Now you gotta walk up a hill with your
lunch.  How will you ever survive?  ;-)
