These are: While I understand your point, my understanding is that it is a regression after Debian Stable (Stretch) was released and that is worked at least in Firefox 56. A feature regression within Debian Stable usually shouldn't be marked only as 'wishlist' or 'minor', especially if no workaround is provided. Unless of course it was already broken when Debian Stable was released, in which case 'serious' is way too high, but I don't think so. It would be interesting to know in which version exactly it stoped working, as if it only stopped from version 60.3.0esr-1~deb9u1, then it should definitely be tagged as a security-upgrade regression. At least the current bug level will make it noticed for Buster and give an opportunity to provide at least another way to provide a similar feature, an perhaps even an upgrade path from Debian-oldstable (Jessie). That said, I wouldn't be against downgrading it to important, especially as this regression don't seems to be written in the changelog (as required in the Debian Policy if done on purpose or knowingly). But having it at an higher level than 'normal' is necessary IMHO if it is a Debian-stable regression (a problem that was far less common when maintaining of the original version was still possible).
