They said in the ticket that the issue does NOT affect the majority of Firefox users. It was just a calculation of the impact, and they decided not to release a hotfix. I'm pretty sure if it was affecting all firefox users it would be fixed in a matter of hours too.

I am quite sure that even if it were the same amount (in absolute numbers) of Chrome users, it would have been a bigger priority than Firefox, at least for most people there.

If this had happened to Chrome users, the code freeze would have magically been broken in a matter of hours.
