It's a priority already, just more complicated than you want it to be to fix.

If you have an amazing whizz-bang solution, great! Please provide it in the form of a patch or an add-on. If you don't know how to write those, I'm sorry to say you cannot possibly understand the internal plumbing problems that are almost guaranteed to exist in your proposed solutions.

Just because you want a car to run without using any form of coolant, doesn't mean proposing "just stop putting coolant in" is helpful. That part is obvious, and maybe completely impossible. A practically feasible and detailed technical plan is required.

Mozilla's developers are not fools, this bug hasn't remained unfixed because no one realized "hey, we could just pay attention when the user presses <key> instead of letting the plugin do it." "Wow, I can't believe I never thought of that. You're so smart!" Treating them as if they are this dumb is a great form of repellant you're dousing this bug with. Congrats.

So please answer this bug with source code rather than more repeat comments (nothing has been posted in the last several weeks that hasn't been posted to this bug before.) Talking on a third-party forum elsewhere to develop this source code is a very wise and effective solution.

Sorry for replying again.
