I'm not sure if it is important to back port it, but it does seem fixed in the current version.

[Gordon P. Hemsley (gphemsley)]

Looks like this was fix by bug 730625.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Firefox 3.0 source is only left in hardy which no longer has desktop support, all supported stable desktop releases should have this fix now.
