1724004 - When will firefox support Backdrop-filter by default?

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1618013

(Core :: Layout, enhancement)

Description

[Arthur]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

It is fairly sad to see a browser such as Firefox which has now been fully redesigned in terms of UI to not support the Backdrop-filter functionaly by default. I do not understand the lack of willingness to implement this?

Hi Arthur,

Do you mean to have layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled in about:config set to true by default?

Best,
Clara

I'd also like to push for this!
This special blur effect is an absolut design trend. There Thousand of YT Tutorials how to implement this in you webdesign but none of them tells their followers that it doesn't work in firefox. The result is, that thousand of websites don't work correctly in FF.

And you know: At the end no one will say "what a ugly webdesign", they will say "Use Chrome, it looks nice in chrome".

Hi, essentially the css class filter (backdrop-filter) etc.

All other browsers support this and it boggles my mind why firefox haven't enabled this by default? It's 2021 guys! :)

Thanks Arthur for suggesting this enhancement.
I'll involve the dev team to get an opinion on this.
