Flagged dev-doc-needed; this affects the document at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/number, which has a note about the fact that the list attribute doesn't do anything in some browsers, including Firefox.

this is working with the new firefox release (74) so i think you can close this ticket.
