using svg filters to display 3D data

opacity in Firefox 3.5
This is a very short post, but it’s worth putting up because it shows how browser features go from a vendor-specific implementation to a fully supported standard.

color correction for images in Firefox 3.5
Back in Firefox 3, we introduced support for color profiles in tagged images, but it was disabled by default.
