record script & external sites with firefox

I was curious if anyone has seen this problem before and knows a work around. I am running Firefox version 1.0.7 on Fedora Core 4. The way the record script works is that on every page change an 'onload' event occurs on the top frame (record.php) which causes the new page to be recorded in the tester. This works okay when there are sites on the same server as the tester, but whenever going to an external URL nothing is recorded. My suspicion is that the browser stops the 'onload' javascript from happening when an external site is accessed.
Any help would be appreciated! Warmest Regards///
We've never actually tested phpautotest on an external site, however we will look into the problem and see if it can be fixed in the upcoming 1.0.0 release.
Kind regards,

Recording external pages is not possible because when the browser detects that the external page is from a different domain phpautotest is denied access to it.
Domain security is present in other major browsers such as Internet Explorer and Opera.

Unfortunately there is no work-around.
