Before anyone else. So I could effectively get rewarded, for always keeping a security hole open. But I didn't keep it open, so... yeah... they'll get around to me sometime.

That's needless drama. They will be rolling out the fix in a point release. Whatever way you use to update your browser will install that and get the fix. So the worst case is just going back to the old days where you'd have the issue until your distro issued a new package or you manually updated the browser version on Windows or OSX. What exactly would you expect that's not exactly what's happening?
