Re: hit regions Firefox support update

I just requested that the patches are checked into firefox.
If all goes well, this means that the upcoming nightly build will have
basic support for hit regions.

If people had earlier tests for drawFocusIfNeeded, they can simply update
them as follows.
old code:

ctx.drawFocusIfNeeded(element);

new code:

ctx.drawFocusIfNeeded(element);

ctx.addHitRegion({control: element};

Alex, how can we turns hit regions and focus rings on by default?
