[Bug 885542]

[Mkmelin+mozilla]

It's available in nightly builds already if you're in a hurry and
willing to accept some rough edges. The next non-developer version is
tb24, which will be released in september -

These kind of fixes aren't backported to the stable branch (tb 17), as
patches can always cause unwanted side effects nobody thought they
would.
