Oh god, I hope I'm mis-reading this...

Are you seriously saying that this bugfix will NOT land in time for TB 38? Meaning, we will have to another full YEAR to see it fixed?

Please tell me it ain't so.

As for regressions - so you're saying it is OK for major regressions to happen for the entire lifecycle of TB 31 (see all of the Address auto-entry bugs that are only just now being fixed), but not for Firefox?
