@firefoxwebdevs WebAuthn still doesn't work correctly for multi-device passkeys, WebUSB not being supported makes many useful applications not usable on Firefox.

@firefoxwebdevs VirtualKeyboard API:
VirtualKeyboard API - Web APIs | MDN
The VirtualKeyboard API provides developers control over the layout of their applications when the on-screen virtual keyboard appears and disappears on devices such as tablets, mobile phones, or other devices where a hardware keyboard may not be available.

Reference target for cross root aria, or something like it
Declarative custom elements

@ausi just to double check, you mean margin-trim, not text-box-trim?

@gundersen would you be ok if it was behind a site permission addon? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/site-permission-add-ons
@firefoxwebdevs Yes, as long as there is a good way to detect a blocked permission, so you can reask the user or gracefully degrade the experience.

inline if() CSS -
@ausi just to double check, you mean margin-trim, not text-box-trim?
@firefoxwebdevs yes, margin-trim. Safari supports it and I think Chrome is working on it too IIRC.

@firefoxwebdevs Missing CSS random() has previously blocked me from porting JS to CSS.
types: `random()` | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc
"Can I use" provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers.

@firefoxwebdevs The new "install app" button in Firefox for Windows is a welcome addition, but makes it hard to provide good user guides, as support is not guaranteed. I hope you are working on expanding support to all platforms.
An alternate way to make this easier, is to suppprt the install button, which would make guides much simpler and no longer dependent on specific browser knowledge.

@krinkle which bits are missing in the latest versions of browsers?
WPT cover a dozen or so missing bits.
Beyond that, the clearest cut ones are cataloged and polyfilled at https://github.com/w3c/mathml-polyfills. Compare https://w3c.github.io/mathml-polyfills/acid-test.html in two tabs with and without the transform applied.
For things that are implemented but have known bugs, there is for example a layout bug with mathrm introducing whitespace in Firefox between symbols, where Chrome/Safari/MathJax don't:

@firefoxwebdevs maybe, but I don't want to normalize instructions to end users about changing browser configs. If people get used to following instructions on website to enable stuff they don't understand then they are more likely to be tricked into enabling something they shouldn't. I'd rather just have a browser ui popup, like webcam and microphone has. Especially I'm thinking of consumer products that need to be set up by the user and could be done using Bluetooth in a website.
