This was done on purpose. With xinerama enabled firefox would have window sizing issues. Also, firefox works fine on my xinerama setups with xinerama support disabled, so I see no point in enabling it.

Ok, didn't know about window sizing issues. The problem with disabled xinerama for me is that menus go over the edge of monitor to the screen which is projector (usually off) and it's annoying :)

Anyway, it seems I'm the minority here.
