(In reply to kaz from comment #16) > If you're not going to make it work, the least you could do is not fake the appearance, you know? Would it be difficult to pop up a dialog box or something? I'm sympathetic to where you're coming from, but this bug is filed against the platform code and is about implementing the missing functionality in the platform code. Platform developers do not make decisions about adding/changing frontend UI such as opening dialog boxes, so you would need to file a new bug against the 'Firefox' component to get that attention. As for the rest of the discussion, from my perspective as a platform dev it adds a lot of text that we have to read through to check we're not missing anything once we get around to trying to fix this bug. The more bugs we have with conversations like that, the more unproductive time is used up reading through comments that don't help inform the development work involved. You're welcome to comment, but please do keep that in mind and try to keep unnecessary comments to a minimum.
