Similar bugs reported for the suite: bug 242724, bug 161600.
Should this be a duplicate of one of those?

At this rate, I doubt bug 161600 will be fixed anytime soon, probably best thing
to do is to add 161600 as a dependancy, but it's most likely to be a dupe.

It's the same issue as bug 161600. I figured that since this is the front-end,
it'd be a separate bug for Firefox; but if the code is shared then this bug is
indeed a dupe of bug 161600.

(from bug 161600) this bug with a workaround was mentioned on a blog:

Why is this bug unconfirmed? Are we unsure that it's actually a problem?

Comment 6

[Oleg Sidletskiy]

I guess people are hesitant to dupe FIrefox bugs agains Browser bugs, unless
they're 100% sure the underlying cause or problem code is the same.

Also, perhaps on some physchological subconscious level people know that Firefox
bugs are more likely to get fixed. ;-)
