 * Two weeks ago, I wasn’t able to delete posts. When I clicked on DELETE, the button
   turned red but post didn’t get deleted.
 * I just realized that the problem only happens in Firefox. I can now delete posts
   in Internet Explorer.
 * Good luck

 * I am having the same problem in Firefox, hopefully WordPress 2.5 should fix this…

 * Can you delete them using explorer?
 * I had this issue. I could not delete using Firefox 2.0.0.12 nor FF 3 Beta 3 on
   my XP box, but Internet Explorer on the same machine worked OK. Also FF 2.0.0.12
   on my Ubuntu box worked fine.
 * The fix was to uninstall firefox (both versions) on the XP machine, delete the
   stray folders (in progam files and application data) and reinstall it. Works 
   like a charm again, but replacing the extensions again is a PITA
 * HTH

 * You can delete them in IE. PITA.
