That seems like an extremely niche issue.
The sentiment feels on point however, that this users experience with Firefox has been poor and issues flagged have not resolved in an eternity. I've definitely felt similar exhaustion with other systems.
So it's ok to not fix it? I agee with original commenter. Firefox is full of bugs, particularly in dev tools, which renders it unusable for me
Every software has old bugs, that's perfectly normal. The question is how relevant these bugs are for the average customer.
If a bug only affects 12 people among the millions of users, it's not that relevant.
as a dev, we close bugs with a set SLA.
15 years is .. well, it's outside that.
it's not that niche - svg is a common format and it was difficult to work around. my point was more that the issue was known and just unlikely to ever be fixed, which makes me concerned about other issues I'm not experiencing today but might tomorrow.
I honestly would prefer to be using Firefox.
