If you had to pick _one_, which web platform feature would you like in Firefox that isn't part of the Interop 2026 effort?
-
@firefoxwebdevs (multiple) Customizable select
@Thain @firefoxwebdevs listbox or drop-down out of interest?

@Lukew @firefoxwebdevs Most of the time, I've seen drop-down, but any of them can be a very good start

@Thain @firefoxwebdevs fwiw Chrome 145 has listbox multiple and it's in the spec too! So hopefully Firefox and WebKit can do this alongside the dropdown single select version (though it's quite a large undertaking overall due to history)

@Thain @firefoxwebdevs nice thing with this is that you can build a custom dropdown multiselect yourself. It'll need JS and the accessibility handling correctly but it's doable now, without you needing to recreate the listbox itself. I suspect that's what most people will end up doing anyway for full control of the design. e.g. an input in the picker for filtering.

@Lukew @firefoxwebdevs The reason I want it is for the accessibiliy. Most of the time (always?); the input + dropdown are inaccessible.

@Thain @firefoxwebdevs yeah `<select multiple size=1>` is still being worked on, but hopefully soon. Then even stuff like filtering is still being thought about. Hopefully without any JS we can manage the common scenarios.

Directly support Anchor Positioning API v2
It will nicely supplement the dialog APIs too.
@bundyo ohhh, what's in V2 that you particularly want?

To work with elements in transformed containers, at least. And anchored containers as a wish.

@firefoxwebdevs Speculation Rules API

@firefoxwebdevs ah, I misunderstood
- when I have a label with tabindex=0 for a radio-button that’s display=none, I can click the label to toggle the radio-button and I can tab into it, but I cannot toggle the radio-button by clicking enter or space after tabbing into it.
Otherwise I’m actually pretty happy.
@ArneBab
Instead of doing that, I like the technique of making the input `opacity: 0` and positioning it over the label. If you put the input inside the label, you can use `:focus-within` to show focus.https://www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/inclusively-hiding-and-styling-checkboxes-and-radio-buttons/

@firefoxwebdevs File System Access API. I'd be fine if you carved out `showDirectoryPicker()`, or put it behind a scary permission prompt. It enables so many powerful editor-like apps, from Photoshop to VS Code.

Make Web Share API enabled by default. -

@firefoxwebdevs@cwilcox808 that looks interesting -- but doesn’t fit my usecase, because I used radiobuttons to implement tabs.
For an input in a form I’ll keep it in mind. Thank you!

@tomayac @firefoxwebdevs oh yeah 1000% this!

Good news! It works for that too. In this case, I used sibling selectors for pseudo-classes instead of nesting them (because I didn't think of it).See it without the JavaScript:
