Thanks for the follow-ups and for filing bug 1354060.  But now that we
know that this affected Gmail, I'll note that the risk around this is
still there, and while keeping this on the pre-release channels for a
while reduces the risk somewhat, we should still be super careful when
we decide to let it go to release, and preferably do so in coordination
with the Web Compat team and in preparation to deal with any fallout.  :-)
