Mozilla devs have limited resources and they decided to tackle developing a better DOM before adding new auxiliary features. How is this wrong?
The main comment says:
«On the DOM side, there is a major refactoring of the DOM based on WebIDL (bug 580070) going on. This will yield better conformance and I'm confident DOM performance, likely security too I would guess.
Meanwhile, I agree, no new feature (like this bug) is being worked on. That's unfortunate, but it's a matter of priority.»
They think that their efforts are better spent on DOM performance rather than form sliders. We argue about that, but one has to accept that, in presence of limited resources, one has to prioritise something.

Just to be clear, that wasn't a Mozilla employee commenting, so they won't necessarily even have a good view of Mozilla's priorities.
