Are anyone following this bug?

It is so simple to program Firefox to make Chinese characters in all ways more elegant, right?

I believe this can significantly attract more & more Asian to jump from Chrome to Firefox!!!

Why Firefox market share drop rapidly these year?

It is because Firefox almost ignored Asian market (Chinese market)!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a look on this bug and make Firefox reborn!!!

I will set this enhancement as new so the engineering team could decide if they take in consideration changing this.
