The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Networking' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Changing severity to N/A because of the bug type is enhancement.

Currently achieving the same is only possible through complicated advanced APIs and only if we're using CanvasAPI. It's absolutely impossible to implement this any other way if you're not working with Canvas. It'd be great to add this to Firefox.
