Re: Looking for SVG that was/is slow in Firefox

Hi Jonathan

Firstly thanks for all your good work you and your team have spent getting
svg into firefox! svg is such a break threw in so many ways for web design
it's great to see it gaining cross platform support..

I am building a svg heavy app ( browser vector software ) and at the moment
it will never run in firefox, the reason being firefox does not support
FeImage for importing svg shapes into a filter using a xlink.

Here is the bug request relating to FeImage dating 2008

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455986

For me this opens up the entire world of filters as i can import shapes,
build up masks, unusual gradients & fill effects and much much more within
the filters & i believe this has been in all browsers including IE for a
very long time.


So my top request would be to support this feature. Any further performance
improvements would be hugely appreciated & i will try test the parts of my
app not dependant on this ( in both FF desktop and on mobile) to see if i
hit any major slowdowns in FF vs the others

Best regards & many thanks

James
