Firefox 1.0 does not support SVG, so if it isnt displaying properly then you
havent got a plugin installed and working properly, or the plugin does not fully
support the svg you are using. I believe the only SVG plugin is a beta Adobe
plugin that has many known problems.

The next version of firefox will support SVG and this file displays fine in that.

Excuse me, please READ the bug report. I am using *LINUX*, not Windows. There is
no "adobe plug-in" for Linux -- the browser is supposed to be SVG enabled.

Firefox 1.0 Does not have SVG included unless it was a custom build. Even then
the SVG support included is now about a year out of date. As I say the current
SVG implementation that will be in the next firefox release (and is already in
the Deer Park Alpha versions) displays this file just fine.

I have my Gentoo build set to include SVG support -- otherwise, I doubt it would
display anything at all. However, I'm glad to see that a future version of
Firefox will support SVG properly.
