Noming to block XUL Fennec 14; Not sure how many people will end up using the home page.

Tracking for 14 to try to resolve prior to 6/4 (if low risk). Otherwise, we'll drop this off the list considering we won't ship a XF14 tablet release for GA.

Seeing as there's no fix up yet to nominate for Aurora landing before tomorrow's merge of FF14 to Beta, I'm removing tracking. We will be shipping a XF14 Beta, but I wouldn't call this a blocker.
