Fred,
You make a valid point that this bug doesn't exist with gedit (I just tried) but does with Firefox. My suggestion is that you open a bug on Mozilla's Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
in order to move this forward. (While doing so, linking to this bug or the other Ubuntu bug would help them I think.)
Please make a link here to the bug you open on Mozilla, thanks.
