Sadly, Firefox doesn't handle this properly natively. Happily, there's a plugin for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8207



This post has raised an unrelated thought:

Why aren't Mozilla using Apple's "There's an app for that" to push "There's a plugin for that" as a way to counter the rise of Chrome and Safari?

It seems piggy backing off Apple's propaganda that quantity > quality = best would be an easy thing to do here.


Mozilla isn't (currently) interested in countering the rise of Chrome or Safari. The Mozilla Foundation and the Firefox team are pushing for a more open, standards-driven web, and both Chrome and Safari are better than IE. Only after standards are really standard can you have a meaningful competition on the merits of various browsers.
