421218 - Support Microsoft "Activities"

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Damian Shaw [Quan]]

Perhaps we should consider supporting the new IE8 Activities naively, according to: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/03/05/internet-explorer-8-beta-1-for-developers-now-available.aspx

Would have chosen wanted‑firefox3.1, but it's disable for me; so nominating for blocking‑firefox3.1.

Firefox should support Internet Explorer new features, to not lose already gained users.
