To be clear, there was no offense or insult intended here. I wasn't aware of bug 460090 (and neither was anybody else involved in the patch here). The past few months have been extremely hectic at Mozilla as we've tried to push Firefox 3.5 out the door and there has been a conscious effort to focus on bugs that directly block the release (i.e. blocking1.9.1+). Unfortunately, nobody noticed the severity of your bug and in the heat of the moment when the 0-day vulnerability hit the waves, that same nobody (of which I'm a part, not ducking responsibility) looked for a duplicate bug that might already contain a patch. Please accept my apology for the oversight and also please contribute to Jeff's thread on how to avoid this in the future.
