Firefox still doesn't support TIFF, doh!

This tiff firefox bug seems set on never being resolved by the Firefox team. Outstanding for 5 years already! Why can't the browser most popular with users display a standard graphics file format? It's just like the reply-all bug in Thunderbird which doesn't get tackled.

Hey Jon,
this is how open source got invented (or re-discovered). If you have an itch, scratch it, don't lament about it. You are a decent programmer, help improve Firefox. It is open source after all.

Good luck,

I'd be happy to provide the patch, but when Mozilla have indicated they will not support decompressing this common image format what good would my patch be? it needs to not fall on deaf ears I am afraid! It's just another example of the bugs users want fixing being ignored! Can anyone convince them to change their tack?

Another example of a patch languishing is my Force Feedback support for SDL.... the FreeSoftware/OpenSource development model failing?
