Ciaran, We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.
Please see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1128139 for details of how you can enable the behaviour that you expect. I'm closing this report by marking it "Invalid" as Firefox in Ubuntu is working as expected. Thank you for your report and for helping to make Ubuntu better.
