Just for clarification for kernel newbies like me, to apply this patch,
I do something like:

Yes, it would be very nice to have this patch applied to future versions
of Firefox for Lucid, as well as Maverick. This would simplify
supporting Firefox in Vinux 3.0, which is based on Ubuntu Lucid, since
we have to re-patch Firefox every time a new version is available.
