Firefox displaying .svg in Breezy

[macewan]

I just realized a few moments ago that Firefox in Ubuntu Breezy is displaying .svg images. WOW neat. Using the beta search function at openclipart.org to find a check mark (http://openclipart.org/clipart/computer/buttons/b_stop.svg) for a production department layout & the image just displayed no problem in Firefox.

Damn nice work the developers are doing. Thanks to all involved - this is making my life so much easier. :razz:

I dont get it to display eather. You must have a plugin installed or something..

You must be using 1.5 no? I can't se anything with 1.0.7.

I went to the page from the start, and we can see a display of the image, but I'm not sure it's svg or just a png [ some kind of thumbnailling? some server side thingie??]

in fact when you try to open one of the svg's it just pops open a new firefox window and keeps asking the same question. So it's not an 1.0.7 feature it's jut's a way to show the clipart.

I had to download some Adobe SVG viewer for Internet Explorer and than copy some DLL file into the Firefox foulder.
