yes, i plan to offer it to gnuzilla eventually - i intend for my
fork to be only a temporary one; but for now, those specific
changes exist in a series under VCS, and it would take some
tweaking to extract that feature as a stand-alone patch -
hopefully, this is a temporary situation for everyone, and
gnuzilla can resume publishing prepared source-balls soon

if you only want to use it as a guide, refer to this patch,
though it probably will not apply well as is, without the
previous housekeeping changes

if you have the gnuzilla git sources, the easiest way to use it,
would be to pull the v78.6 branch from the parabola fork

$ git remote add parabola https://git.parabola.nu/~bill-auger/icecat.git
$ git fetch parabola
$ git checkout -b parabola-v78.6 parabola/v78.6
