    If Firefox wants to be a popular browser, it needs to fix this bug for that very reason. Porn drives the internet, and if a person's browser crashes or crawls to a halt when they're looking at porn, they're not going to stick with said browser. They'll go back to IE, where they can look at porn (and also get viruses) more easily. This bug is probably one of the most important bugs in Firefox that needs to be fixed, and it's been there for a LONG time now.

    It's possible because "redundant" does not mean "repeated".

    From Dictionary.com:
    redundant
    adj.

    1. Exceeding what is necessary or natural; superfluous.
    2. Needlessly wordy or repetitive in expression: a student paper filled with redundant phrases.
    3. Of or relating to linguistic redundancy.
    4. Chiefly British. Dismissed or laid off from work, as for being no longer needed.
    5. Electronics. Of or involving redundancy in electronic equipment.
    6. Of or involving redundancy in the transmission of messages.
