Firefox supports the current spec of single-line flexboxes, so we should update the browser styles:

New flexbox ('display:flex') is *similar* to display:-moz-box, but it's definitely not a drop-in replacement.  Depending on the situation, they may behave differently, so any replacement should be done carefully and may need to include additional rewriting.

So I don't think this bug is actionable, as-filed, except perhaps as a metabug in Firefox (front-end, since that's where these styles exist and would need to be replaced).  Individual per-file switchovers can & should happen piece-by-piece, in their own bugs.
