Now as i have explained this bug is a major code change and that is why upstream is applying it. This is not a "Show stopper" it is a feature request. Upstream has alot of work to do until it can be added. As i recall someone asked for this to block xulrunner 1.9.2 (firefox-3.6) We are a long way before that will be stable so they have time. There is a hacked patched attached to one of the bugs upstream. Hacked patches are not something we will add either way. once a final patch is in place we will have it in our build (3.6 or later) this will not be added to anything <3.6 more than likely since it is such a massive change. For more info please see upstream bugs.
