Secondly it's not a crash but just a glitch, and not a major one neither. Finally the feature was not developed by the FF core team but external contributors. This together results in a low priority. And no, fixes for disabled-by-default features will usually not get backported.

I know, but it's a regression... shouldn't regressions have higher priority than implementing new features like X11 backend etc... the part that is bad about this is that in 78 it works perfectly without any issues, and in 79+ is annoying to use again just like with frame skipping bug before, and yet there are new features being worked on without finishing old ones first.
Obviously it's up to Martin to decide since he is a contributor and FF devs don't care enough to provide tge feature, but as a linux laptop user, I would really like to see this having a higher priprity :) didn't mean to be rude or anything.
