 anymore in ESR60, and thus the patch is obsolete.

 OK! I will edit the list in comment:6 to fix that.

 Including this patch causes a runtime error that prevents the browser from
 starting up properly. We will need to debug this problem.

 Yes, the patch seems to work, but there is a problem with the unit test
 that I would like to fix to be more sure.
