Summary:                    Firefox rich text editing doesn't work, enabling it
b0rks everything else
Description: 
The rich text editing feature of firefox is disabled by the lunar build
script (--enable-plaintext-editor-only), and changing the build script to
remove that option breaks just about every other feature of firefox:
bookmarks toolbar empty, bookmarks totally gone until once opening manage
bookmarks (after that they appear in the bookmarks menu, but not in the
toolbar), a gray area with a red dot (this is really weird, should've
taken a screenshot) appears below the status bar about 3-4 times as wide
as the status bar.

WTF is up with lunar's configuration of firefox anyway? It is slightly
worrying that the BUILD file doesn't look like anything you can see in the
firefox build/configuration instructions...

Did some more testing, seems like --disable-composer is what does it -
removing both --disable-composer and --enable-plaintext-editor-only
results in a build that both works and has rich text editing support.

I know how to read, thank you. And I do want the firefox module to include
features that are expected of firefox. For one thing, when people ask you
"Oh, why doesn't google mail work in your firefox?", the answer "Seems the
authors of my linux distribution didn't want that in because only idiots
use HTML" should never be the best one.... Oh well, I guess it's just
another module where I'll have to maintain my own module files, lunar hold
it, and check for updates manually

BTW, sorry for marking this one major, obviously this is a minor issue
