Firefox is a special case because it's pretty impossible to backport
fixes to an old Firefox branch. The policy does allow for flexibility in
the case of recalcitrant upstreams. You already know this, as it's
already been explained when you've complained about Firefox in the past.
Continuing to raise it as if an explanation hadn't been provided is
disingenous.
