This part of nsTextFrame:IsFloatingFirstLetterChild: if (!GetStateBits() & TEXT_FIRST_LETTER) return PR_FALSE; does absolutely nothing, since ! has higher precedence than &. Therefore we're doing either 0 & TEXT_FIRST_LETTER or 1 & TEXT_FIRST_LETTER, both of which are 0. I assume the compiler just optimizes this whole block away. If this block is needed for performance reasons, we need to fix the parentheses. If it's not needed, it should be removed so as to not confuse people. Note that this was pointed out almost a year ago in bug 426772 comment 55.

I'm not sure this patch should be also landed to 1.9.2 branch. The IsFloatingFirstLetterChild is called from nsTextFrame::Reflow. So, that is called many times. But I'm not sure the impact for the performance.
