Sounds like a good step forward for Firefox and SVG!

Unfortunately, the OS X nightly crashes when I try and view any SVG files, but I'll be looking forward to whenever it manages to work..

Samples on http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/
with .svg extension ask for an application on windows XP SP2? Is there some parameters to set up?

Does enabling SVG enable the canvas tag? I managed to get canvas working by grabbing and building CVS, but none of the SVG-enabled nightlies have supported it. From what I can tell, --enable-cairo should get it working...

I've tried the win32 nightly build as mentioned above and I've enabled svg as described above. But Firefox doesn't show my svg file or html file with embedded svg. Is something wrong?

sorry for my post, it works now. Ive tried the wrong build.

Hi, what's wrong, please answer. I'm using use element with xlink:href to some DEF entity. It works fine. Bt I'm unable to change it using standard setAttribute/seAttributeNS. It works for me in other SVG viewers, co pershaps it is only Firefox SVG issue or there exists other solution...

thx and cheers, Marek
