Get the patch file by downloading it i.e. to /var/tmp. Please keep in
mind that it is a suggestion and still discussed in the bugzilla ticket.
It would be good if you copy yourself the firefox.js before processing
to a safe place, to be able to put it back at it's right place.

Ok, when the patch file - which is in valid diff format - is on your
local drive, you can run:

cd `locate firefox.js | sed -e 's/firefox.js//'`

      [to be in the directory where the firefox.js file is]

Now apply the patch - lets say you saved it as firefox.js.patch - with:

patch -p1 < /var/tmp/firefox.js.patch

To see whether it might give problems you can run patch first in
"simulation mode":

patch -p1 --dry-run < /vat/tmp/firefox.js.patch

This will show you whether there are mismatches or whether all will go
ok. If last, then leave away the "--dry-run" switch. Now the changes are
applied. I would suggest you shut down firefox before you apply the
patch and start it again afterwards.
