Why doesn't Firefox properly display a hair space (U+200A)?

Firefox recognizes most space characters, but not the hair space (U+200A). Why not? IE, Chrome, and Safari handle it just fine.

For me, it displays the same width as an em space ( ,  ). I probably should have mentioned that I’m running Win XP Pro SP3 and FF 4.0 (though I got the same results with FF 3.x).
