After quick discussion with the team, we've decided to park this new graphics release for Firefox and keep it at the 1.2.0 release. Due to the small userbase (<35 users), we feel the extra energy required to maintain and backport the Chrome functionality to Firefox could be better spent.

Closing this issue as this fix is no longer required
