It is, but think about it; all the developers that know how to fix this also know how to fix one of the other million bugs in Firefox. And those are probably more important "to developers" than this one.
All bugs and features are important to someone; the reality is that there is an infinite amount of stuff to do that would be of great benefit to everyone, but only a finite (but perhaps large) number of people that are able to act on. The only way to act purely in your own self interest is to do something yourself; then you get one task and one person to implement it that you have full control over. Acting entitled doesn't get you anything other than the ability to stop giving Mozilla money and switching to Chrome. (But I'm guessing that 99% of people wanting Firefox features aren't giving Firefox any significant amount of money. A feature like this probably takes someone skillful 8 hours to implement. At $100/hr, which is a reasonable rate for an employee with overhead, you should be donating $800 to be entitled to a fix. And that's not even how donations work.)
I'm saying that if this enhancement was truly important, it would have been done sooner. What people think is important and what is important are often very different. "Let the market decide," is my philosophy.
