Depends what you mean by fixed - Firefox is a web browser
and not having everything including the kitchen sink is
part of its nature.

If you mean how can you fix it, that's easy. Just install
the ChatZilla extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/16/

and you're sorted.

(It's the same thing that you would get in Mozilla, just
as an extension rather than bundled in.)
