thanks.  we've forwarded the information to our teams for verification.
Just downloaded the latest nightly and this issue is fixed for us. Is there anyway to prioritize this bug for release?

A number of companies are affected by this (Twilio, TinyChat, etc.) as well as a anybody who uses Flash for RTMP. Also, the HiDPI install base grows everyday.

It's too late to land in Firefox 19, but i nominated it for release tracking for Firefox 20 over in bug 833936.
