Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

To all those affected,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug reported was some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported using currently supported versions of Ubuntu and Firefox?

Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
