Here's something to consider. I've seen my friend Jen Simmons encourage people to use voting as a way to tell us that it's important to them for Firefox to support a particular html or css feature. Here's a recent example https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/601184865732534272 - the bug mentioned has 41 votes on it. I just did a little looking around and other than adding a comment to the relevant bug the only other method of giving us feedback seems to be to dump it in https://input.mozilla.org/feedback/firefox
Maybe it's moot because we're not influenced by votes but if you're not a mozilla insider how do express support for something without spamming the bug? - Michael On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 11:33 AM, Gervase Markham <g...@mozilla.org> wrote: > On 09/06/15 23:07, Mark Côté wrote: > > I would ask, then, what the purpose of the feature is.
