There was a (serious) bug in the FireFox 1.0RC that was available when 
Warty was frozen for release.  The fixed version didn't make it in time for 
inclusion.

I'm sure it will be in the next release (Hoary) in April next year.  It may 
already be available off the Hoary development version, but of course it 
wouldn't be supported.
