Comment (by ma1):

 For reference, the upstream Mozilla bug is
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1532530

 This seems exceedingly drastic as a work-around.
 What if I provide an option to just disable XSS injection checks on POST
 parameters (which would prevent the requestBody listener from being
 registered), and possibly another option to ask user confirmation for POST
 requests from JavaScript-disabled sites to TRUSTED ones, in order to
 mitigate the loss of protection?
