Comment(by pde):

 There is now a one-line place to make this change in the source code.
 Perhaps this could also be controlled by an about:config variable, if
 anyone is excited enough to write a patch.  The variable should probably
 be absent/empty by default, and it should preserve the nice clean spot in
 the source where package maintainers (like Debian downstream) can patch
 this in their builds.
