Not just similar, it's a dupe. Many related depends on / dependent on, but bug 18808 is the core feature. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18808 ***

Sorry for the dup bug. When I searched for existing bugs, I specified Firefox where 18808 is under Browser. Now I know to search both :( A quick check of 18808 doesn't show any mention of Firefox / Firebird. How would I have known that it applies equally to Mozilla and Firefox?
