I notice this is fixed in Intrepid. I'm running Heron and had planned
to for a while yet. Is there any hope that this will be backported to
Heron?

I'm going to download the Intrepid beta to see if this is really fixed
as expected and decide from there if this is enough to switch from heron
earlier than planned. I have found an inelegant workaround in a Firefox
add-on while I'm in Heron.
