Why does Firefox not support the "text-overflow: ellipsis;" style? All other major browsers support it.

The "text-overflow: ellipsis;" style is supported by all major browsers EXCEPT Firefox. I had thought that this would have been fixed with Version 4. But it was not. Then I had hoped that it would be fixed in version 5. Yet it still is not supported.

PLEASE, PLEASE add this support.
