Does this mean that the fix will not become available in "formal releases" until v3.0? Is there any chance of getting it into a v2.0.x "automatic upgrade" for general users of Firefox?
I tried doing the self.scrollTo() immediately after setting overflow to 'hidden' but that javascript function stops working until after the scroll bars are restored. I guess, logically, the function shouldn't work, but this still leaves me without a workaround for v2.0 or earlier.
