Unfixable in Firefox 3.0 is discontinued and the patch was not implemented until 3.5.3, thus no patch is available for people insisting on staying with 3.0.x for some reason.

However, Hardy and later have 3.6.x in their security updates for Firefox 3.0. This also fixes this bug as well as several security issues.

Fix:
Use security update that switches to newer 3.6.x version on Hardy and later.
Use upgrade packages from Mozilla.org or other sources for releases older than Hardy.

This is generally a good idea anyways, as any older releases of Firefox have notable security bugs that are fixed in the latest releases.
