Description Edward O'Connor 2013-08-27 17:58:39 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #23080 +++

Gecko is considering removing the support because all other browsers already dropped or have never supported the API.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-08-27 21:58:51 UTC 
The API supports some use cases that have no other solution. The right path here is for Safari and other browsers to implement the API, not to remove it. :-)
