I've experienced something similar with one or two of the lists I 
subscribe to. It only happens with a mailing list that shows my personal 
email address as "From".

I use a mail server, there are DNS MX records that direct my mail to the 
mail server. I use firefox POP to access the mail server and I send mail 
with SMTP through the mail server. The email from the mailing list that 
never makes it to my home firefox is on my mail server (I've looked at 
the list archive, it's there; I can log in to the mail server and see it 
there). I suspect that since it has my address as "From" it is not 
picked up by firefox; either due to a mail server issue or a firefox 
issue, possibly because I haven't configured something correctly on one 
or the other.

I think it started when I changed to a different mail server (and I 
don't want to change again). It hasn't been enough of a problem to spend 
a lot of time tracking it down. If you do determine what's going on with 
your email, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
