And probably a lot of people aren't.
That's rather dismissive considering the number of bug reports:

It got so bad for me that I went back to the GA version for Fedora 12.

Why isn't Mozilla releasing a new version that contains the fix?

to stable.
An unofficial patched version would be better than the current situation.
