Hmm, works for me (I upgraded my nvidia/kernel/xorg/firefox/flashplayer
yesterday). Maybe it's somewhat dependent on card :/

Okay, thanks very much for that. I guess I won't file a bug report with
us as it's an upstream issue (kind of why I was asking). We can
technically "fix" it by adding a wrapper to our firefox package to do
that hack, but I'm pretty sure I agree with Aaron (and the devs in
general) in that we should just wait for the aforementioned fix.

Cheers.
