I see no link to a relevant bug report linked in the article and without one, that bug is never going to get fixed.
A bug report with a minimal testcase would take 50% the time it took to write the article itself but actually have greater impact.

Bugzilla is a wonderful tool for Mozilla. Unlike other projects that use mailing lists or internal tools, Mozilla coordinates its projects mainly using Bugzilla. Developers discuss patch approaches there, post WIPs and do code reviews there. Considering Mozilla is comprised of many contributors all around the globe such software is a necessity. Bugzilla may look complicated and cumbersome but it's actually a powerful tool.
By comparison, the issue tracker used by the Chromium project is just a public-facing ad-hoc thing. The project's workings are mostly opaque, coordinated by Google's employees. The whole project works more like typical closed-source software.
