I could look it up, but you can do some research in bugzilla.mozilla.org 
yourself ;-)

Nonsense. You are talking about the Mozilla Suite, I am not. Before 
jumping to conclusions about Mozilla it might be wise to invest some 
time to found out how it actually works. (Firefox is based on the 
Mozilla Platform, for example. Just like various other Mozilla-based 
products.)

Really? What is your testcase for that? It works for me.

By any site *you* know? As I said, Firefox is based on the Mozilla 
Platform on which lots of features are implemented that are not used by 
sites that exist on today's web. Like support for the 'outline' CSS 
property or counters from CSS. (Both very recently implemented.) Or the 
XForms extension of Firefox, SVG support... Not sure what you are 
talking about.
