Firefox Is the First Browser To Pass the MathML Acid2 Test

Posted by timothy on from the assembling-data-please-wait dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Frédéric Wang, an engineer at the MathJax project, reports that the latest nightly build of Firefox now passes the MathML Acid2 test. Screenshots in his post show a comparison with the latest nightly Chrome Canary, and it's not pretty. He writes 'Google developers forked Webkit and decided to remove from Blink all the code (including MathML) on which they don't plan to work in the short term.'"

    Chrome stable passed it just fine.

    This shows why enterprises prefer stability and ancient standards like old IE over Chrome who changes the rendering engine on a whim.

    This whole article is clearly false. I ran this test on Firefox 17 ESR (the older annual updated version) and it ran. Last, I even ran it on IE. Perfect! I set the compatibility mode to lower and IE 9 ran fine too, and so did IE 8 render it fine as well which is old in modern standards.

    Maybe I am missing something but every browser can pass this ... well except the alpha quality ones.
