I have been EXTREMELY annoyed by this for a long time!

I think I complained to firefox and got no response. Now I know why.

I am not a regular user of github or patches, but would be willing to test
this if given exact instructions, i.e. what to do after downloading the
four changed files.

I currently use ctwm on fedora29 (mainly) and also sometimes CentOS 7.7.1908
and Scientific Linux release 6.10.

Fedora runs on my desktop and laptop at home, the other two on departmental
machines, where I've installed ctwm.

Thanks.
